There is no standard way to do this, and unfortunately the prevailing model
for parsers is to embed DTD validation into the parser in a black box
fashion rather than employing a layered processing model. If you must adhere
to JAXP 1.1 APIs, then you are out of luck.
However, I think the new Xerces 2 can do DTD validation on a stream of SAX
events. I haven't investigated this in depth, but you can try starting with
a faq they have (http://xml.apache.org/xerces2-j/faq-pcfp.html) and then
poke around a bit deeper and see if they support this. If this works, you
can just insert a SAX filter in the pipeline before the DTD validator, and
add your own DOCTYPE declaration to the event stream for any doc that does
not contain one.
