These are known issues of the oAW XML formatter. Since oAW 4.2 it is
implemented using the JAXP API due to IP issues. Unfortunately with JAXP
you have troubles with Doctypes, Entities and some other.
Basically the Fornax XML formatter is the oAW formatter before 4.2. It
is based on DOM4J.
I strongly recommend to use this formatter. Because of those issues
(which cannot be solved without implementing a totally own one) the oAW
formatter will be deprecated.

Hi,
I am using Sculptor to generate an XML file using an External Entity (see
http://www.xml.com/pub/a/98/08/xmlqna1.html#EXTENT).
This is what the Hibernate file should look like:
<!DOCTYPE hibernate-mapping PUBLIC "-//Hibernate/Hibernate Mapping DTD//EN"
"http://hibernate.sourceforge.net/hibernate-mapping-3.0.dtd"; [
<!ENTITY UserInformation SYSTEM
"classpath://com/foo/hibernate/UserInformation.xml">
]>
<hibernate-mapping>
<class...>
...
&UserInformation;
...
</class>
</hibernate-mapping>
I could not get this to generate correctly. After much pain, I finally
figured out that there was nothing wrong with my template code. The problem
is with the XML formatter. The default
org.openarchitectureware.xpand2.output.XmlBeautifier eats both the ENTITY
declaration and the entity reference. Then I tried the Fornax
org.fornax.utilities.formatter.xml.XmlFormatter. I do like it better than
the oAW one because the XML looks much cleaner, and it leaves the ENTITY
declaration. However, it replaces the entity reference with<!-- DUMMY -->!
So that still doesn't work. I tried to not use a formatter at all, but the
XML that is generated has spaces in front of<?xml>, which is invalid.
Is there a setting or configuration that I can use to tell the formatter to
leave my external entity declaration and reference alone? I know this is
unusual syntax, but it makes the most sense for our situation.
Thanks,
Polly
