load external dtd

[rob harvey]

Hi - I need to load a system dtd and set it as the entity resolver for a xerces DOM parser. i need to store the dtd in WEB-INF directory and read it in from the servlet - how is this possible? Fileinputstream seems to only want to read from the local filesystem not the web context?

If you want to read from the web context then

InputStream is = this.getClass().getResourceAsStream("/bazooka.dtd")

or something like that is the way to do it. I assume from your question you can already handle the part about setting the EntityResolver? If this answer isn't what you were looking for, then ask again.
