JBXB-101, disabling validation

I cannot disable validation against a document dtd currently for use with the ObjectModelFactory/Unmarshaller apis. The Unmarshaller.setValidation(boolean) call has no affect.

The problem would seem to be this static initialization of the parser factory and setting the validating flag to true:

public class SaxJBossXBParser
 implements JBossXBParser
{
 private static final Logger log = Logger.getLogger(SaxJBossXBParser.class);

 private static final SAXParserFactory saxFactory = SAXParserFactory.newInstance();
 static
 {
 saxFactory.setValidating(true);
 saxFactory.setNamespaceAware(true);
 enableXInclude();
 }

The Unmarshaller.setValidation(boolean) call maps to setting a feature of the parser. I'm not sure why this is not getting picked up on the resulting parser.

After digging into the xerces code, both the VALIDATION and DYNAMIC_VALIDATION features need to be false to avoid validation of docs with DOCTYPEs. The UnmarshallerImpl.setValidation(boolean) was therefore updated to:

public void setValidation(boolean validation) throws JBossXBException { parser.setFeature(VALIDATION, validation); parser.setFeature(DYNAMIC_VALIDATION, false); }

With this change the test passes.
