Still haven't found a good answer my previous question below, but at
least I have it generally working with the expanded Entity and hack
to turn "%BigEntity" into "% BigEntity" so that I don't get parse
error upon reparsing the serialized document. However, I've got a
larger issue than any of that, and I think it is my last major issue
to figure out....
When I add EntityReference nodes to the DOM I'm building up, they
don't get expanded in the parse tree. That is, when I print out the
DOM tree, all I see are the EntityReference nodes, but none of their
children, even though I iterate recursively over all the child
nodes. For instance, for the example listed in my previous question
(below), here is the parse tree...
Document MIME type: null
Document encoding: UTF-8
DOM hierarchy:
XercesLinkedDocument:
DocumentTypeImpl: name=vxml
internalSubset=
<!ENTITY % BigEntity SYSTEM "BigEntity.ent">
<!ENTITY BigEntity "
<prompt>another prompt</prompt>
<prompt>another prompt</prompt>
<prompt>another prompt</prompt>
<prompt>another prompt</prompt>
<prompt>another prompt</prompt>
<prompt>another prompt</prompt>
<prompt>another prompt</prompt>
">
ElementNSImpl: vxml
Attributes:
AttrImpl: version
TextImpl: 1.0
ElementImpl: form
Attributes:
AttrImpl: id
TextImpl: init
ElementImpl: block
TextImpl:
EntityReferenceImpl: name=BigEntity
TextImpl:
Notice that EntityReferenceImpl has no children. I expected it to
include child nodes of the EntityReference; that is, nodes
representing the 7 cases of "<prompt>another prompt</prompt>" defined
in the Entity "BigEntity".
I shouldn't have to manually populate the children of the
EntityReference, should I? I have noticed that I get events on the
EntityReference contents as I parse the document using XNI, but all I
should have to do for the DOM is simply do the following, no?...
EntityReference entityRef =
fDocument.createEntityReference(entityName);
fCurrentNode.appendChild(entityRef);
...where "fCurrentNode" is the current parent node to which children
are being appended. I've read that EntityReference children might be
lazily expanded, so that if they aren't accessed no work is
performed, but I am accessing the EntityReference children in order
to print the DOM tree. Why don't they show up??? Shouldn't the DOM
do this for me? It clearly has all the information it needs. What
am I missing?
thanks,
Jake
