It appears that when I have an ENTITY but there is no reference to the entity, XERCES-J does not create a TEXT node to contain the text value associated with the entity. For instance: !ENTITY UserName "myUserName" but there is no &UserName later in the document. Is there a way to force XERCES-J to create the TEXT node all the time even when there is no reference? I can get the first node and its name (UserName) but when I try to get the first child node, XERCES-J returns null. It works fine if there is a reference. Thanks in advance for the help. _________________________________________ Elly Sokol [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
