Hmm, this made me think about SAX. Earlier this year I was looking for a way to tell a SAX parser not to process external entities for a browsing application. David Megginson told me just to return an XMLSource for an empty string from the entity handler. It is however becoming obvious to me that it could be important for the parser to know that it is skipping an external entity as opposed to that entity being empty, such as the case above. It makes me wonder if using an empty XMLSource to skip entities is a good way to do it. --- Chris Hubick mailto:chris@h... http://www.hubick.com/ xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers.
