Subject: how to not expand attribute entity references?
Hi, im using the sax2reader to parse an xml document.
When my startElement() function gets called and i read teh attributes in my
program entity references are being expanded.
eg /
<Foo Bar="©">
is coming through as a copyright symbol, i need it to come through as is,
How can i disable this expansion?
I have seen this option in the dom parser but I can't find it for the sax
parser.
Please help, thanks.

This could be done with the DOMParser (attribute values can be
populated with a mix of text nodes and entity references, but Xerces
currently doesn't support it), but cannot be done with SAXParser, as
the SAX specs design a callback function that only has a single
string for the attribute value.

Okay thanks, ive just disabled the expansion with a quick hack to
IGXMLScanner2.cpp for now...
If anyone does discover a better way to do this please let me know :)

Hi Malcom,
unfortunately entity expansion inside attribute values cannot be
disabled (not even in the DOM parser).
