Saxon cannot resolve DTD

[petey]

Running Saxon to do a transform fails when an input document contains a DOCTYPE whose system ID references a DTD on the

http://www.w3.org

site. Deleting the DOCTYPES from all the documents isn't an option. I'm on the network, but behind a proxy. Any suggestions?

Error
  java.net.UnknownHostException: [URL unfurl="true"]www.w3.org[/URL]
Transformation failed: Run-time errors were reported

Can you ping the server at

http://www.w3.org

or browse to the URL from the machine you are running the code from ?

Yep, I can reach the DTD with my browser. What I've determined so far is: 1) Since java doesn't know that it's supposed to use a proxy, forcing it to use a proxy with a special java -D option fixes the immediate problem, however 2) A parser shouldn't be using the SYSTEM id to ping the w3.org site every single time. It should be set up so that it resolves the PUBLIC id against a local copy. I think I need to set up a catalog manager or something. That's where I'm at right now in trying to figure this thing out.
