SAX parser uses ValidatingStreamReader and fails even when validation is disabled (by default)

By default validation should be disabled, as per setValidating javadoc:
"Specifies that the parser produced by this code will validate documents as they are parsed. By default the value of this is set to false."

And it says it is disabled, but it still tries to fetch it:

public class WstxTest {
private WstxSAXParserFactory factory = new WstxSAXParserFactory();

@Test
public void testDefaultFlagValues() throws SAXNotSupportedException, SAXNotRecognizedException

{ Assert.assertFalse(factory.isValidating()); Assert.assertFalse(factory.getFeature("http://xml.org/sax/features/validation")); }

@Test
public void testDtdRef() throws IOException, SAXException

{ factory.newSAXParser().parse(new ByteArrayInputStream(("<?xml version=\"1.0\"?>\n" + "<!DOCTYPE test SYSTEM \"http://somewhere.ccc/someuri\"><test/>").getBytes()), new DefaultHandler()); }

}

This code gives OK for testDefaultFlagValues, but gives:

Resolve called, -> org.xml.sax.helpers.DefaultHandler@1d80e6d

for second test. It uses ValidatingStream reader, while validation is disabled. Tested on 4.1.1
