[jdom-interest] DTD location

I have a folder in a netbeans webapp.

/NB-Projects/whatever/app/WEB-INF/fistx/ .

In that folder I have two files.
windsor.xml and its dtd fist.dtd .

windsor.xml starts with these two lines:

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<!DOCTYPE fist SYSTEM "fist.dtd" >


However, SAX builder keeps insisting on wanting to read the fist.dtd
from 
/..../netbeans/tomcat5.5.7/bin .

Is there a way to tell SAX builder to look for the DTD at the directory
where the xml file is being parsed?

Or at any location I wish to specify, 

[pseudo-code]
String fistdtd =
 session.getServletContext()
  .getRealPath("/WEB-INF/fistx/fist.dtd");

SAXBuilder saxb = new SAXBuilder();
saxb.setValidation(fistdtd);
[/pseudo-code]

Additionally,

[pseudo-code]
saxb.setValidation(
  "http|ftp ://MyFavouriteServer/myFavouriteDTDs/fist.dtd");
[/pseudo-code]


I could specify
<!DOCTYPE fist SYSTEM /NB-Projects/whatever/app/WEB-INF/fistx/fist.dtd"
>

But that would not be very portable, would it?
