Question about Entity processing.

Is there a way to have Xalan ignore entities (ex. &alpha;)?  I need all the
entities to be left as is after conversion, instead of converted to Unicode
or pulled in from external documents.  I tried using
setShouldExpandEntityRefs(false) with a Xerces parser and this removed the
entities entirely, the output document no longer had even the &alpha;.  Has
anyone been able to do this?
