[jdom-interest] How do specify a DTD?

Hi.

If you have a xml file with a DOCTYPE tag specifying a dtd file, is it
an absolute requirement that the dtd file must be in the same directory
as the xml file?

Or is it possible at run time to tell the builder where the dtd file is
located?

I tryed the following:

FileInputStream file = new FileInputStream(m_filename);
m_doc = builder.build( file, "/path/to/dtdfile/file.dtd")

But is still fails with an Exception saying:
External entity not found: "/path/to/dtdfile/file.dtd"


Tips appreciated.
