[jbossws-dev] [Design of JBoss Web Services] - FEATURE_SECURE_PROCESSING and related dtd parsing config usa

[scott.stark@jboss.org]

A question has come up around the dtd entity parsing denial of service issue raised here:

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/xml/jaxp/JAXP-Compatibility_150.html#JAXP_security

Are we allowing for the use of the parser.setFeature(XMLConstants.FEATURE_SECURE_PROCESSING, true) to limit the defaults?

What about disabling doctypes via the http://apache.org/xml/features/disallow-doctype-decl feature:
