Answer 1

Taking a quick look at the javadoc for Builder, I guess you could provide an EntityResolver via the constructor that takes a XMLReader. I would avoid letting the parser download files from the internet where possible.

This solves the problem:

DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
            factory.setValidating(false);
            factory.setFeature("http://apache.org/xml/features/nonvalidating/load-external-dtd", false);
            Document document = factory.newDocumentBuilder().parse(is);
