The following comment has been added to this issue: Author: Hans Gilde Created: Tue, 24 Aug 2004 4:19 PM Body: So, when you transform your XML document, it's supposed to strip out the original comments. If you want comments in your output, you have to put them in CDATA in the original.
How about this: By default, CopyOf won't output lexical data. If you want to access the comments in this mode, you have to use "string($doc/a/comment())" We add in an attribute "lexical" that will cause CopyOf to output lexical information along with the content. In this mode, you should expect the "double entity" issue and any other issue related to outputting lexical data. It's a little inconvenient for the user but the underlying SAX/dom4j classes work this way. I'll submit the patch tomorrow unless you hate it. --------------------------------------------------------------------- View this comment: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JELLY-28?page=comments#action_37438 --------------------------------------------------------------------- View the issue: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JELLY-28 Here is an overview of the issue: --------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JELLY-28 Summary: Bad entity processing Type: Bug Status: Open Priority: Blocker Project: jelly Components: core / taglib.core Fix Fors: 1.0-beta-4 Assignee: james strachan Reporter: Incze Lajos Created: Thu, 30 Jan 2003 7:44 PM Updated: Tue, 24 Aug 2004 4:19 PM Environment: No special environment. Description: Have a file, name it a.xml with this content: ----------------------------- <?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE a [ <!ENTITY x "y"> ]> <a>&x;</a> ----------------------------- Run the below simple (maven) jelly script: ----------------------------- <project default="java:jar" xmlns:j="jelly:core" xmlns:x="jelly:xml"> <goal name="emnl:test"> <x:parse var="doc" xml="a.xml"/> <echo><x:copyOf select="$doc"/></echo> </goal> </project> ----------------------------- The result will be this: ----------------------------- .... emnl:test: [echo] <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <a>&x;y</a> BUILD SUCCESSFUL ----------------------------- I'm aware of the fact that the bug originally comes from dom4j. The below dom4j program fragment ----------------------------- .... SAXReader xmlReader = new SAXReader(); Document doc = xmlReader.read("a.xml"); XMLWriter writer = new XMLWriter(System.out); writer.write(doc); writer.flush(); .... ----------------------------- will output this result: ----------------------------- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE a><a>&x;</a> ----------------------------- which is bad (not even well-formed). I've filed this issue at the dom4j bugtracker (http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=16035&atid=116035) under the number 676427, with some notes one the possible resolution. But as we can see, the jelly xml tag adds a twist to the dom4j bug, it inserts both the entity and the entity value into the tag.
