Hibernate mappings for Internet-disconnected applications

Some time before, my officemates were looking for a way to make the HBMs work even if the application sits on top of a network-disconnected computer. It's only now that I chanced upon the entry in the Hibernate Users FAQ pertaining to this problem. That entry is "Hibernate tries to connect to http://hibernate.sourceforge.net at startup!" The first solution is to use a better XML parser, but in our case, our interest is in using SYSTEM id instead of PUBLIC id in the HBMs.
