Hi, You're making assumptions about the implementation which aren't required and certainly aren't true for Xerces. There is no underlying SAX parser. The DOM is built from XNI events. You cannot plug SAX handlers into it.
If you want to build a SAX filter for replacing skipped entities [1] and then build a DOM from that, you could try using the Transformer API instead (i.e. javax.xml.transform.Transformer.transform(SAXSource, DOMResult)) where the SAXSource contains your XMLFilter [2] which does this resolution. Thanks.
