SAX parser cannot process entity references correctly

           Summary: SAX parser cannot process entity references correctly
           Product: Xerces-J
           Version: 1.3.0
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: SAX
        AssignedTo: xerces-j-dev@xml.apache.org
        ReportedBy: mark.risman@ubswarburg.com


When I use the "parse" method, with a filename as an argument, the XML file 
that is referred to will load correctly except when a special-character entity 
reference is encountered (e.g. &amp;).  When this happens, the data containing 
the entity reference is truncated.  I have confirmed this by inspecting the 
value which appears in the "characters" method.

The portion of my code where I call the parse method is as follows:

.
.
.
   XMLReader saxParser = XMLReaderFactory.createXMLReader
("org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser");
   saxParser.setContentHandler(...) ;
   saxParser.parse(fileName);
.
.
.
