I'm trying to use digester for parsing xml that were previously
parsed with jaxb 1.0-ea. Some of the content is xhtml fragments
inside xml, eg.

<body-text><xhtml>...</xhtml><body-text>

and I'd like to retrieve the content as a String bean property.
However, I'd like the parser to threat the content of body-text as
opaque. Now it tries to parse it and chokes on eg. &oslash; entities.

Any clues on how I can configure digester, or more precisely, the
underlying parser, to avoid these problems?

One general strategy would be to define all of the entities that HTML
defines by default, in the DOCTYPE of the surrounding XML document that you
are parsing.  That way, they would just get expanded (at the XML parsing
level) and not cause you any problem.
