“java.net.UnknownHostException” occur when read mybatis xml file

Question

I like to read data from following mybatis xml file by java code. (Not mybatis mapping, just want to read data form outside application.)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE mapper PUBLIC "-//mybatis.org//DTD Mapper 3.0//EN" 
"http://mybatis.org/dtd/mybatis-3-mapper.dtd">
<mapper namespace="com.raistudies.persistence.UserService">

<resultMap id="result" type="user">
    <result property="id" column="id"/>
    <result property="name" column="name"/>
    <result property="standard" column="standard"/>
    <result property="age" column="age"/>
    <result property="sex" column="sex"/>
</resultMap>

<select id="getAllUser" resultMap="result">  
    SELECT id,name,standard,age,sex 
    FROM user; 
</select>
</mapper>

So i trying with xml reader as follow:

        File fXmlFile = new File("c:\\mybatis.xml");
        DocumentBuilderFactory dbFactory = DocumentBuilderFactory
                .newInstance();
        DocumentBuilder dBuilder = dbFactory.newDocumentBuilder();
        Document doc = dBuilder.parse(fXmlFile);
        doc.getDocumentElement().normalize();

        NodeList nList = doc.getElementsByTagName("mapper");
                    .
                    .
                    .

But when i run this code, i got following error

I found the course of error because of this statement.

     <!DOCTYPE mapper PUBLIC "-//mybatis.org//DTD Mapper 3.0//EN" 
"http://mybatis.org/dtd/mybatis-3-mapper.dtd">

My all code are work properly when i remove this statement. Let me know, how can i overcome this problem.

Answer 1

It's OK by setting following features on the DocumentBuilderFactory:

    dbFactory.setFeature("http://apache.org/xml/features/nonvalidating/load-external-dtd", false);

---

eg:

    File fXmlFile = new File("c:\\mybatis.xml");
    DocumentBuilderFactory dbFactory = DocumentBuilderFactory
            .newInstance();

    dbFactory.setFeature("http://apache.org/xml/features/nonvalidating/load-external-dtd", false);

    DocumentBuilder dBuilder = dbFactory.newDocumentBuilder();
    Document doc = dBuilder.parse(fXmlFile);
    doc.getDocumentElement().normalize();
