I am currently having a problem with entities in a DOM Parser

[Crain, David B. \(LNG-DAY\)]

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.   Dave   David B.
