Am I missing something? Is "nbsp" declared in your DTD? You said your goal was to ")resolve unknown entities" so I'm assuming it's not declared. Is this entity reference part of an attribute value? If it is you're out of luck with SAX. skippedEntity() as well as the entity methods on LexicalHandler are never called for attributes. Also can you double check that you're actually using a recent release of Xerces-J and not its JDK fork or NekoHTML or something else. > Michael Glavassevich wrote: > > > > Hi, > > > > You're making assumptions about the implementation which aren't > > required and certainly aren't true for Xerces.
