[jira] Commented: (OPENEJB-968) XML system entities do not work

["Henri Gomez (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENEJB-968?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12715525#action_12715525 ] 

Henri Gomez commented on OPENEJB-968:
-------------------------------------

A quick note about this.

XML include is supported with Tomcat 5.5 and 6.0 for some times.

It's a very usefull feature when you want to split a big application web.xml in smaller parts.

> NamespaceFilter used to disable DTD downloading in JaxB also disables SYSTEM entity references in the XML.  For example, the following will cause a null pointer exception in the tomcat integration:
> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
> <!DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN"
>         "http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtds/web-app_2.3.dtd" [
>                 <!ENTITY inclusionFile SYSTEM "file.xml" >
>         ]
> >
> <web-app>
> &inclusionFile;
> </web-app>
> This problem exists in all JaxB parsing code.
