      Description

        When external access is rejected by the newly introduced properties in JAXP 1.5, an error is reported back that looks like the following:

        [Fatal Error] somefile.xml:11:50: External DTD: Failed to read external DTD 'somefile.dtd', because 'file' access is not allowed.

        This error message can be confused with a security manager issue, making it hard for users to identify the real issue.
