Hi Friends,
   I am parsing a XML file using Xerces-J 2.6.2 using the DOM API. I
am facing some problem. The XML document is available in my program in
Java string form.

Here is relevant portion of code (with line numbers for readibility) ..

1) DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl factory = new DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl();
2) DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
3) String rsp = "xmlstring";
4) Document document = builder.parse(new InputSource(new StringReader(rsp)));

A sample xmlstring is (for line 3) -
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='ISO-8859-1'?><!DOCTYPE MESSAGING SYSTEM
'http://host/x.dtd'><MESSAGING></MESSAGING>

(I am not using the validating mode. This XML is sent to my program by
a remote process and DTD reference is redundant to me).

Line 4 is giving error (I am pasting full stack trace for your reference) -
java.net.ConnectException: Connection timed out: connect

I don't know what this call has to do with java.net package !

I'll appreciate help in understanding what is going wrong, and how to solve it..
