parsing entities with Xerces-C
I'm having a problem parsing entities.
Simplified XML file:
"<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE Personnel SYSTEM "person.dtd">
<personnel>
&tst;
</personnel>
"
The simplified DTD file:
"<?xml encoding="US-ASCII"?>
<!ENTITY tst "testing">
<!ELEMENT personnel (person,)+>
<!ELEMENT person (name, email*, url*)>
<!ELEMENT name (#PCDATA)>
<!ELEMENT email (#PCDATA)>
<!ELEMENT url (#PCDATA)>
"
I get the following exception: "Invalid character (Unicode: 0x0) "
refering the line with &tst; and character right after the semicolon.
I have the setEntityHandler(this) set to the parser ..... Am I not declaring
the entities
correctly ?

The problem has been resolved. It turned out that I was linking with an older
version of the Xerces library which had a bug with entities. After relinking, it
parses fine.
Thanks,

What are you doing in the entity handler? There really isn't any need for
one, from what you've said so far. So perhaps you are doing somethign wrong
in the entity handler?

I tried running it thru SAXPrint, DOMPrint, ... and I get the same error. If I
use a
pre-defined entity like & or < the error goes away. I only get it
when
defining the entity. The faq mentions that there could be a hidden control
character -
so I used "od -c" and did not see any control characters.
Puzzled....

Looks like you are doing the right thing. Try running this through one of
the sample programs that comes with the parser distribution. If it works
there, its your program, probably the build options. Otherwise, let us know
and we can look at it.
