Maintaining entities when parsing and serializing

Hi,

I am using Xerces-J 1.1.2 to parse and serialize a dom document using the
following code.

ByteArrayOutputStream b = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
XMLSerializer serializer = (XMLSerializer)
factory.makeSerializer(b, new OutputFormat());
serializer.asDOMSerializer().serialize(doc);

When I do this, anything that was "&#180;" in the source becomes "´" in the
resulting output. How do I prevent this expansion from happening, or at
least reverse it for the serialization process?

Thanks in advance,
Lisa
