The "Can't build DAS url" error isn't DTD related, as far as I can 
tell.  The usual reason is that one or more DAS datasources has an 
invalid MAPMASTER URL, which causes problems when BioJava tries to 
parse it into a Java URL object.

Which server were you trying to access?  I know where was a 
configuration problem on the Sanger Institute DAS server yesterday, 
which could have caused errors like the one you report.  I believe this 
has been fixed now,
