Here's the sequence of SAX events generated for that document. Note that all of the
characters are reported.
setDocumentLocator([EMAIL PROTECTED])
startDocument()
startElement(uri="",localName="abc",qname="abc",attributes={})
characters(text="a and b ")
startEntity(name="amp")
characters(text="&")
endEntity(name="amp")
characters(text=" c")
endElement(uri="",localName="abc",qname="abc")
endDocument()
I'm fairly certain there was another bug report like this related to Castor before. My
guess is whatever handler is being registered on the parser has some clever code for
whitespace stripping in the implementation of ContentHandler.characters() and is
applying that
to each characters event. Xerces isn't doing this.

Key: XERCESJ-1005
Summary: White space around ampersand is lost while parsing xml
Type: Bug
Status: Resolved
Priority: Minor
Resolution: INCOMPLETE
Project: Xerces2-J
Versions:
2.6.2
Assignee:
Reporter: Sumit Arora
Created: Mon, 30 Aug 2004 12:42 PM

Description:
White space on either side of the ampersand symbol (&) disappears during parsing
xml. e.g. the xml
<abc>a and b & c</abc>
generates the element:
a and b&c
instead of:
a and b & c
A similar problem existed with parsing of double quotes (") in version 2.3 but
seems to have been fixed in later versions.
I am seeing this behavior while using Castor (which uses xerses API internally). So I
am not sure which component of Xerces API causes this behavior. More specifically, I
see this behavior in the unmarshal(java.io.Reader) method of the
org.exolab.castor.xml.Unmarshaller class.
