For some reason our server is having errors connecting to w3c.org, and this is causing my dom4j apps to break. I'd like to turn off validation and not parse an external DTD, but I also need to have the entity in my xhtml. My coworker was saying that he had to use numeric entities, like   for to be able to use DOM without a DTD.(he's not using dom4j though) I was trying to use xerces and have the following code: public static SAXReader getSAXReader() throws Exception{ SAXParserFactory factory = SAXParserFactory.newInstance(); factory.setNamespaceAware(false); XMLReader xmlReader = factory.newSAXParser().getXMLReader(); SAXReader saxReader = new SAXReader(); saxReader.setXMLReader(xmlReader); //saxReader.setFeature("http://xml.org/sax/features/namespaces", false); //saxReader.setFeature("http://apache.org/xml/features/nonvalidating/load-dtd-grammar", false); saxReader.setFeature("http://apache.org/xml/features/nonvalidating/load-external-dtd", false); //saxReader.setFeature("http://apache.org/xml/features/dom/include-ignorable-whitespace", false); saxReader.setValidation(false); saxReader.setEntityResolver(null); saxReader.setDocumentFactory( df() ); saxReader.setStripWhitespaceText(true); return saxReader; }
I don't know if it's xerces or dom4j, but somehow it ends up with a ? instead of a non-breaking space when I serialize the document with this code: OutputFormat of = OutputFormat.createPrettyPrint(); of.setIndent("\t"); of.setLineSeparator("\n"); //of.setTrimText(trim); of.setExpandEmptyElements(false); //of.setNewlines(true); //of.setNewLineAfterNTags(1); //of.setXHTML(true); //StringBufferWriter sbw = new StringBufferWriter(); XMLWriter writer = new EscapedXMLWriter(pw, of); writer.setEscapeText(false); writer.setResolveEntityRefs(false); writer.write(node); pw.flush(); Any suggestions are much appreciated. --Evan ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
