DOM Parser isn 't creating EntityReference Nodes 2003-01-07 - By Luke_Burnham@(protected)
I'm using JAXP 1.1's DocumentBuilder and Xerces 2.2 to load an XML string
into a DOM. A simple example string is: <page><</page>.
When I examine the DOM structure in my debugger, I see an Element node
with a single child Text node that contains the resolved entity reference
text - in this case the single character '<'. What I want to see is an
Element node with an EntityReference node child and subtree.
If I substitute the Crimson parser for Xerces, I can toggle between these
two modes using the docBuilderFactory.setExpandEntityReferences(boolean)
method, but this method appears to have no effect on Xerces.
What am I doing wrong?
