Code:
domParser.setFeature(“http://apache.org/xml/features/validation/schema”,
false);
domParser.setFeature(“http://apache.org/xml/features/dom/create-entity-ref-nodes”,
false);
With this configuration, and using Xerces 2.2.1, anytime the
parser encounters an entity that is not defined in the DTD, we get the
following results:
Input: properly elected to do so, can amend its
&bogus; Federal income tax returns filed
Output: Federal
income tax returns filed
Ran a test with a newer version of
Xerces (2.6.0) and got a slightly different result:
Input: properly
elected to do so, can amend its &bogus;
Federal income tax returns filed
Output: properly
elected to do so, can amend its Federal income tax returns filed
In either case, this is not a good thing.
I am looking for method that would allow me to keep the
above features set the way they are, but code a method that would allow me
identify an undefined entity in the data.
I am also curious why the Xerces code would not throw an
exception when the above data is encountered. I am will to go to 2.8.0 Xerces
if this problem was addressed.
Let me re-state, I want the code to throw an exception!!!!
Please let me know if there are any questions.
