Essentially, configuring "accessExternalDTD" with an empty value is a 
convenience for setting up an entity resolver with the following example 
implementation:

     EntityResolver
             noExternalEntitiesResolver = (publicId, systemId) -> {
         throw new SAXException("External entity not allowed: " + systemId);
     };
