#### Rationale `XmlBeansUtil.DOCUMENT_BUILDER_FACTORY` sets `disallow-doctype-decl=true` for XXE protection, which causes parsers to fail on any XML with a `<!DOCTYPE>` declaration. This is a problem for the Panorama Public code that parses NCBI's `esummary.fcgi` response that begins with `<!DOCTYPE eSummaryResult PUBLIC ... esummary-v1.dtd>` #### Related Pull Requests - LabKey/MacCossLabModules#605 - LabKey/MacCossLabModules#623 #### Changes - Added `DOCUMENT_BUILDER_FACTORY_ALLOWING_DOCTYPE` to `XmlBeansUtil`, mirroring the existing `SAX_PARSER_FACTORY_ALLOWING_DOCTYPE`. The DOCTYPE declaration is permitted, but every other XXE mitigation stays in place. - Extracted a private `documentBuilderFactory(boolean allowDocType)` helper, mirroring the existing `saxParserFactory(boolean)` helper.
