I understand that jaxb-1.0-beta is based on schema, and that dtd's are
henceforth considered obsolete. That's fine, so we've prepared an
equivalent schema, which compiles to code which seems to work nicely.
  However, older software still generates XML files which contain a DTD
reference, e.g.:
         <! DOCTYPE whatever SYSTEM "whatever.dtd">

Our jaxb-1.0-beta based program has no need for that DTD file, but its
createUnmarshaller() call throws a FileNotFoundException for
"whatever.dtd" file. Why must this happen? Isn't there any way to
suppress the attempt to find the dtd ???

Thanks,
