Interface org.w3c.dom.DocumentType

public interface DocumentType
extends Node
Each Document has a doctype attribute whose value is either null or a DocumentType object. The DocumentType interface in the DOM Level 1 Core provides an interface to the list of entities that are defined for the document, and little else because the effect of namespaces and the various XML scheme efforts on DTD representation are not clearly understood as of this writing.

o getEntities 
 public abstract NamedNodeMap getEntities()

For example in:<!DOCTYPE ex SYSTEM "ex.dtd" [ <!ENTITY foo "foo"> <!ENTITY bar "bar"> <!ENTITY % baz "baz">]><ex/> the interface provides access to foo and bar but not baz . Each object in this map also implements the Entity interface.
