That's the damned XML parser trying to download the Hibernate DTD.

There's *supposed* to be a way you can provide a library of DTDs to 
these damned things. I've never found it though.

<rant>
BTW As it stands, a DDoS attack on one of these important DTD urls would 
make it impossible to, say: start certain servlet containers, start a 
hibernate context, parse XHTML, parse RSS etc.

In the early days of RSS, shortly after netscape abandoned the RSS 0.91 
effort they (re)moved the DTD, and *poof* went almost every RSS 
application. Large portions of the XML infrastructure are incredibly 
dependent on being able to get to damned DTDs.
