Description

If an application uses -Duima.framework_impl to insert a custom XML parser that modifies descriptors by, for example, substituting values for some entity references, then the Saxon parser used by dd2spring may fail when reading the unmodified descriptors. So we must also provide a hook to allow dd2spring to use a custom SAX parser when it constructs the spring context files.
Some of our descriptors have a DOCTYPE referencing an external DTD which fail in dd2spring when on a node with no access to the public network. (The DOCTYPE is filtered out by the UIMA parser provided via -Duima.framework_impl)
