This may be a little more complicated than is necessary, but working with collections of DTDs and Schemas is always problematic. Since you're using Xalan, consider using a SAX2SAX transform. In the SAX source set http://xml.org/sax/features/validation to be false. Your entities will come out expanded. In the SAXResult, set Content and LexicalHandler which just wrap around the TransformerHandler(this TransformerHandler will be the input to your actual transformation). Now in the Handlers which wrap the TransformerHandler just dont pass on the DTD events which will be obtained by your lexical handler. If I remember right, you should find code snippets in Xalan samples/trax. If efficiency is an issue you can bypass SAX2SAX and just do a Handler to source transform pretty similarly. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
