In your test program you are not setting the "entities" property to "true"

Hi,
I read in the Xerces API documentation:
"entities"
true [required] Keep EntityReference and Entity nodes in the document.
false [required] (default) Remove all EntityReference and Entity nodes from
the document, putting the entity expansions directly in their place. Text
nodes are into "normal" form. Only EntityReference nodes to non-defined
entities are kept in the document.
(http://xerces.apache.org/xerces-c/apiDocs-3/classDOMConfiguration.html)
Therefore entity reference nodes to undefined entities should be kept in the
document. But try the next program:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
#include <xercesc/dom/DOMNode.hpp>
#include <xercesc/parsers/XercesDOMParser.hpp>
#include <xercesc/util/PlatformUtils.hpp>
using namespace xercesc;
namespace {
bool entity_reference_node_found(DOMNode const* const node)
{
if (DOMNode::ENTITY_REFERENCE_NODE == node->getNodeType())
return true;
for (DOMNode const* child = node->getFirstChild(); child; child =
child->getNextSibling())
if (entity_reference_node_found(child))
return true;
return false;
}
}
int main()
{
XMLPlatformUtils::Initialize();
{
XercesDOMParser parser;
parser.parse("undefined_entity.xml");
cout << entity_reference_node_found(parser.getDocument()) << '\n';
}
XMLPlatformUtils::Terminate();
}
with the next XML file:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE test>
<test>&abcd;</test>
It will print 0. Why?
