I am also trying read from a xml file with dtd tag

and code

File fXmlFile = new File(grammarXML);                   
DocumentBuilderFactory dbFactory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder dBuilder = dbFactory.newDocumentBuilder();
Document doc = dBuilder.parse(fXmlFile);

I was getting the same error.

java.net.UnknownHostException:

The server where the code is deployed does not have access to w3.org. When i open w3.org in a browser, it is opening connection timed out page. I gave access to w3.org and it solved the issue.
