APAR status
Closed as program error.

Error description
When an app uses HTMLdtd.class it fails opening HTMLEntities.res
It appears that this is a encoding error in xerces.jar
Initially it appears HTMLdtd uses an openInputStream against
HTMLEntities.res with no code-page specified causing the read to
use default code-page of ebcdic. HTMLEntities.res is packaged in
ascii so it fails.
   It appears either the method used to open the file by HTMLdtd
needs to be changed or the code-page of HTMLEntities res needs
to be changed.

****************************************************************
The HTMLdtd.class uses an openInputStream against
HTMLEntities.res with no code-page specified causing the read to
use default code-page of EBCDIC, while HTMLEntities.res is
packaged as ASCII in xerces.jar so it fails.
Problem conclusion
The HTMLdtd.class was changed to use ISO_8859_1 encoding to
open the HTMLEntities.res file.
