Why is skippedEntity reporting an absolute path?

Hi,

I have an XML file with the following declaration:

  <!DOCTYPE extEntity [<!ENTITY foobar SYSTEM "foobar.xml">]>

Using xercesImpl.jar and xml-apis.jar from

    http://gump.covalent.net/jars/2004-05-24/xml-xerces2/

I find that ContentHandler.skippedEntity(String) receives the
argument

    file:///c:/jwi/Workspace/CanonifyXML/foobar.xml

in other words, an absolute path. This is definitely not what
I want.

Is the above behaviour intentional? IMO the event should report
the unmodified system ID.


Regards,

Jochen
