RE: Parsing special charcters - the Solution

["Joakim Löfgren (ERA)" <Jo...@era.ericsson.se>]

For those interested:
With the help from John Snelson I found out that the entity reference is a
separate node in itself. So instead of using my original code:

  Text valueText = (Text)valueElt.getFirstChild();
  String value = valueText.getData().trim();
  
I had to create a loop like this:

  elts = valueElt.getChildNodes();
  for(int i = 0; i < elts.getLength(); i++){
      valueText = (Text)elts.item(i);
      value += valueText.getData().trim();
  }

And everything works out!

Thanks for the help John.
