Will, thank you for your attention. I can't try the code that you give, because I am not developing any kind of code to use the generator. The generator uses a xerces jar file, and I want to know if exists any configuration file in the jar file, where I can disable the conversion of the entity references. Regards, Rui Torres

This generator can get information of external sources (XML files), and I gave to it an external xml file with entity references. The problem is that it generates a xml file, where all the entities references were converted, and I want to preserve all the entities. So, I suppose that the conversion is done by xerces, and I want to know if it is possible to configure xerces to preserve all the entities. Regards, Rui Torres
