Hi All,

Me and my friend have beenusing xerces and xalan to read xml files. We have
some commonly used files which we would like to include in other xml files
using ENTITY tags.
We could not find a way in which to use ENTITY tags in this way. Any
pointers will be hightly appreciated. I am giving a small sample of what

common.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<element name="CommonProperty">
<property name="member1">bold</tauproperty>
<property name="member2">28</tauproperty>
</element>

app.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE common [ <!ENTITY common SYSTEM "common.xml"> ]>

<Configuration>
<Component name="CommonProp">
  &common;
</Component>
</Configuration>

I want to be able to use a XPATH like
"/Configuration/Component/element/property[1]/text()" to read the value
"bold" from app.xml

Thanks,
- Madhu
