    /**
      * Get a pointer to the <code>DOMConfiguration</code> object used when parsing
      * an input source.
      * This <code>DOMConfiguration</code> is specific to the parse operation.
      * No parameter values from this <code>DOMConfiguration</code> object are passed
      * automatically to the <code>DOMConfiguration</code> object on the
      * <code>DOMDocument</code> that is created, or used, by the parse operation.
      * The DOM application is responsible for passing any needed parameter values
      * from this <code>DOMConfiguration</code> object to the <code>DOMConfiguration</code>
      * object referenced by the <code>DOMDocument</code> object.
      *
      * In addition to the parameters recognized in on the <code>DOMConfiguration</code>
      * interface defined in [DOM Level 3 Core], the <code>DOMConfiguration</code> objects
      * for <code>DOMLSParser</code> add or modify the following parameters:
      *
      * "charset-overrides-xml-encoding"
      *     true [optional] (default)
      *         If a higher level protocol such as HTTP [IETF RFC 2616] provides an
      *         indication of the character encoding of the input stream being processed,
      *         that will override any encoding specified in the XML declaration or the
      *         Text declaration (see also section 4.3.3, "Character Encoding in Entities",
      *         in [XML 1.0]). Explicitly setting an encoding in the <code>DOMLSInput</code>
      *          overrides any encoding from the protocol.
      *     false [required]
      *         The parser ignores any character set encoding information from higher-level
      *         protocols.
      *
      * "disallow-doctype"
      *     true [optional]
      *         Throw a fatal "doctype-not-allowed" error if a doctype node is found while
      *         parsing the document. This is useful when dealing with things like SOAP
      *         envelopes where doctype nodes are not allowed.
      *     false [required] (default)
      *         Allow doctype nodes in the document.
      *
      * "ignore-unknown-character-denormalizations"
      *     true [required] (default)
      *         If, while verifying full normalization when [XML 1.1] is supported, a
      *         processor encounters characters for which it cannot determine the normalization
      *         properties, then the processor will ignore any possible denormalizations
      *         caused by these characters.
      *         This parameter is ignored for [XML 1.0].
      *     false [optional]
      *         Report an fatal "unknown-character-denormalization" error if a character
      *         is encountered for which the processor cannot determine the normalization
      *         properties.
      *
      * "infoset"
      *     See the definition of DOMConfiguration for a description of this parameter.
      *     Unlike in [DOM Level 3 Core], this parameter will default to true for DOMLSParser.
      *
      * "namespaces"
      *     true [required] (default)
      *         Perform the namespace processing as defined in [XML Namespaces] and
      *         [XML Namespaces 1.1].
      *     false [optional]
      *         Do not perform the namespace processing.
      *
      * "resource-resolver" [required]
      *     A pointer to a DOMLSResourceResolver object, or NULL. If the value of this parameter
      *     is not null when an external resource (such as an external XML entity or an XML schema
      *     location) is encountered, the implementation will request that the DOMLSResourceResolver
      *     referenced in this parameter resolves the resource.
      *
      * "supported-media-types-only"
      *     true [optional]
      *         Check that the media type of the parsed resource is a supported media type. If
      *         an unsupported media type is encountered, a fatal error of type "unsupported-media-type"
      *         will be raised. The media types defined in [IETF RFC 3023] must always be accepted.
      *     false [required] (default)
      *         Accept any media type.
      *
      * "validate"
      *     See the definition of <code>DOMConfiguration</code> for a description of this parameter.
      *     Unlike in [DOM Level 3 Core], the processing of the internal subset is always accomplished, even
      *     if this parameter is set to false.
      *
      * "validate-if-schema"
      *     See the definition of <code>DOMConfiguration</code> for a description of this parameter.
      *     Unlike in [DOM Level 3 Core], the processing of the internal subset is always accomplished, even
      *     if this parameter is set to false.
      *
      * "well-formed"
      *     See the definition of <code>DOMConfiguration</code> for a description of this parameter.
      *     Unlike in [DOM Level 3 Core], this parameter cannot be set to false.
      *
      * In addition to these, Xerces adds these non standard parameters:
      *
      * "http://apache.org/xml/properties/entity-resolver"
      *     A pointer to a XMLEntityResolver object, or NULL. If the value of this parameter
      *     is not null when an external resource (such as an external XML entity or an XML schema
      *     location) is encountered, the implementation will request that the XMLEntityResolver
      *     referenced in this parameter resolves the resource.
      *
      * "http://apache.org/xml/properties/schema/external-schemaLocation"
      *     A string holding a set of [namespaceUri schemaLocation] entries that will be treated as
      *     the content of the attribute xsi:schemaLocation of the root element
      *
      * "http://apache.org/xml/properties/schema/external-noNamespaceSchemaLocation"
      *     A string holding the schemaLocation for the empty namespace URI that will be treated as
      *     the content of the attribute xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation of the root element
      *
      * "http://apache.org/xml/properties/security-manager"
      *     A pointer to a SecurityManager object that will control how many entity references will be
      *     expanded during parsing
      *
      * "http://apache.org/xml/properties/scannerName"
      *     A string holding the type of scanner used while parsing. The valid names are:
      *      <ul>
      *       <li>IGXMLScanner: the default one, capable of both XMLSchema and DTD validation</li>
      *       <li>SGXMLScanner: a scanner that can only perform XMLSchema validation</li>
      *       <li>DGXMLScanner: a scanner that can only perform DTD validation</li>
      *       <li>WFXMLScanner: a scanner that cannot perform any type validation, only well-formedness</li>

      *
      * "http://apache.org/xml/properties/parser-use-DOMDocument-from-Implementation"

      *         Parsing should try to continue even if a fatal error has been triggered, trying to generate a DOM tree
