Background:
I am trying to set up an interface to build documents in DocBook. I
would like to divide the xml files into sections based on the docbook
dtd. Ex.

Set -->(contains) Book(one to many) -->(contains) Part(one to many)
-->(contains) Article(one to many)

I would like to separate these logical partitions into physical
partitions and place the files in separate directories. I will generate
dynamic header files(these contain the DocType) so I can export any
level of these documents on-the-fly without reading the entire document.

Problem:
When I try to read a document that has entity references but no DocType
I get a error "The entity ENTITY_REFERENCE_NAME was referenced, but not
declared.". I understand that it was not declared because I declare it
in a separate "header file" that references this file. Is there any way
to suppress this error and construct the document?

I have tried the following code:

this.expandEnitites = false;
this.validate = false;

SAXBuilder builder = new SAXBuilder();
builder.setExpandEntities(this.expandEnitites);
builder.setValidation(this.validate);
if(! this.validate){
builder.setFeature("http://apache.org/xml/features/nonvalidating/load-external-dtd",false);
builder.setEntityResolver(new NoOpEntityResolver());
}
Document document = builder.build(new File(fileHandle));


I am trying to read this XML file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<book>
<title>Jeff</title>
<bookinfo>
  <legalnotice>
   <para>No notice is required.</para>
  </legalnotice>
  <authorgroup>
   <author>
    <firstname>Jeff</firstname>
    <surname>Rasmussen</surname>
   </author>
  </authorgroup>
  <edition>First Edition</edition>
  <revhistory>
   <revision>
    <revnumber>1.0</revnumber>
    <date>Mon May 17 09:08:41 MST 2004</date>
    <authorinitials>
    </authorinitials>
    <revremark>Jeff</revremark>
   </revision>
  </revhistory>
</bookinfo>
&test;
</book>



Thanks for any available help!!!
