Work on AXIOM-435 started by Andreas Veithen.
> Consistently implement support for entity references
> ----------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: AXIOM-435
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIOM-435
> Project: Axiom
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: API
> Affects Versions: 1.2.13
> Reporter: Andreas Veithen
> Assignee: Andreas Veithen
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 1.2.14
>
>
> Currently (unexpanded) entity references are represented as OMText instances
> with type=ENTITY_REFERENCE_NODE. This is a bad choice:
> * An entity reference doesn't necessarily represent character data: the
> expansion can e.g. produce elements. Representing it as an OMText is
> therefore conceptually wrong.
> * There is lots of code that checks for OMText and then uses OMText#getText()
> under the assumption that the return value represents character data.
> However, for an entity reference, getText() would return the entity name.
> It should also be noted that the test coverage for entity references is
> currently almost nonexistent. As a result, the code that handles entity
> references is inconsistent. E.g. OMStAXWrapper/SwitchingWrapper contains the
> following code:
> if ((currentEvent == START_ELEMENT)
> || (currentEvent == END_ELEMENT)
> || (currentEvent == ENTITY_REFERENCE)) {
> return ((OMElement) lastNode).getLocalName();
> } else {
> throw new IllegalStateException();
> }
> This is obviously incorrect.
