Xerxes-Java defer-node-expansion bug or inconsistency

[apowell]

I have an inconcistency or a bug.  With JDK 1.1.7p (VisualAge for Java 3.0)
XML4J 3.0.0, and LotusXSL 0.19.2, this works, but with XML4J 3.0.0 and
LotusXSL 0.20.0 I have problems.  It doesn't look like an XSL problem, but
the bug appears with changes to XSL.

I wish to read in an XML file with some entities.  The Java code:

DOMParser parser = new DOMParser();
try
{
parser.setFeature( "http://xml.org/sax/features/validation";, true);
parser.setFeature(
"http://apache.org/xml/features/dom/defer-node-expansion";, false );
parser.setFeature(
"http://apache.org/xml/features/dom/create-entity-ref-nodes";, true);
parser.setFeature( "http://xml.org/sax/features/external-general-entities";,
true);
parser.setFeature(
"http://xml.org/sax/features/external-parameter-entities";, true);
parser.parse( fileName );
} catch (SAXException se) {
System.out.println("sax exception: " + se );
se.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException se) {
se.printStackTrace();
}
return parser.getDocument( );

The XML file:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE testing [
<!ENTITY servicehelloworld
"
      <service name='HelloWorld'>
         <classname>HelloWorldService</classname>
         <rootUri>http://localhost/</rootUri>
      </service>
">
]>
<initialization>
   <services>
      &servicehelloworld;
   </services>
</initialization>


When I have  parser.setFeature(
"http://apache.org/xml/features/dom/defer-node-expansion";, false ); then
when I print the document (using the FormatterToXML and TreeWalker) I get:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<initialization>
   <services>
      &servicehelloworld;</classname></rootUri>/>
   />
/>

When I set this to true, I get:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<initialization>
   <services>

   </services>
</initialization>


Using 0.19.2 of LotusXSL, I would get good results - the ENTITY would be
included as I'd expect.

Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?
