Re: Entity error

[Dennis Sosnoski]

Thanks for trying this out. I went back to track the problem in detail 
and found it was occurring not with the original file, but with a copy 
that had gone through a text->DOM->text cycle. The problem is actually 
on the output side, using XMLSerializer. This keeps the entity reference 
but loses the definition with Xerces 2; with Xerces 1 it just 
substitutes the entity text directly.

Xerces 2:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<spec>&name;</spec>
Xerces 1:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<spec>xyzzy</spec>
Here's the *complete* test program:

           m_parser = new DOMParser();

Here's the code (with classpath including xmlParserAPIs.jar and

I'm using your code and I'm still not seeing any problems with
the Xerces 2.0.0 release. Is there any other information you
could provide about your environment?
