I haven't tested the SAX support in XML4J recently, but if it supports
EntityResolvers correctly, you can simply make up a URI for the
external DTD, and then supply your own Reader for the buffer when you
see the URI.
For more information, see
http://www.megginson.com/SAX/javadoc/org.xml.sax.EntityResolver.html
It is possible to use entity resolvers in quite clever ways -- you can
also pull information out of a database, request user input in a
dialog box, etc. I wish that I could take credit for the idea, but I
think that the original suggestion came from James Clark.
All the best,
David
