Re: [xstream-user] Parsing HTML special characters

[Korrignu]

In fact my problem is this one : http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/XSTR-334

...

my symbols like é avec defined in my dtd like this :
    <!ENTITY eacute  "&#233;" ><!-- small e, acute accent -->

if I put in my xml file &#233; instead of &eacute; it works.

Infortunately, I can't, this xml file is provided to me and I can't
modify it.

So is these a way to load the dtd before invoking xstream.readObject ?

Thx

K.
