Re:  How to open XML file that reference entity resolver (DTD)
The entity resolver I wrote for Kernow is here:

http://kernowforsaxon.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/kernowforsaxon/kernow/trunk/src/net/sf/kernow/transform/CustomEntityResolver.java?revision=256&view=markup

That will check a local directory first, then the store in memory,
falling back to getting the doc itself.

To use it:

xmlReader.setEntityResolver(CustomerEntityResolver.getInstance())
