The perhaps you need to disable the option to create entity references
nodes. Otherwise, the DOM is not compatible with Xalan-C, and the entity
is represented by an entity reference node, and not the expanded value:
http://xml.apache.org/xerces-c/program-dom.html#DOMBuilderFeatures
builder->setFeature(XMLUni::fgDOMEntities, false);
I did set this to false. Also I set these other options to true:
fgDOMValidation, fgDOMNamespaces, fgXercesSchema,
fgXercesSchemaFullChecking, fgDOMDatatypeNormalization,
fgDOMValidateIfSchema
Also I am using xerces 2.7 and xalan 1.10.
The way I am using xalan and xerces to parse Xml files works perfectly fine
for all XPaths except the ones in which the xml files are referencing each
other using entity tags.
