Using general entities in DTD on W3C schema

           Summary: Using general entities in DTD on W3C schema
           Product: Xerces2-J
           Version: 2.0.0
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows NT/2K
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Blocker
          Priority: Other
         Component: DOM
        AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


Here is how I want to setup the Schema:


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE xsd:schema [
<!-- Define the name and path to an external file - this is the modified 
entities-->
<!ENTITY % entity-defs SYSTEM "ACMEentity-file.xsd">
<!-- Now reference the file into this schema -->
%entity-defs;
]>
<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"; 
xmlns="http://www.ACORD.org/standards/PC_Surety/ACORD1.3.0/xml/"; 
elementFormDefault="unqualified" attributeFormDefault="unqualified" 
targetNamespace="http://www.ACORD.org/standards/PC_Surety/ACORD1.3.0/xml/"; 
version="1.3.0">
<xsd:complexType name="AddressType">
        <xsd:simpleContent>
                <xsd:restriction base="OpenEnum">
                        <xsd:enumeration value="BillingAddress"/>
                        <xsd:enumeration value="BranchOffice"/>
                        <xsd:enumeration value="PreviousAddress"/>
                        <xsd:enumeration value="RecipientAddress"/>
                        <xsd:enumeration value="ShippingAddress"/>
                        <xsd:enumeration value="StreetAddress"/>
                    &AddressType_entity;
                 </xsd:restriction>
        </xsd:simpleContent>
</xsd:complexType>



Now the entity file would contain this:



<!ENTITY AddressType_entity '
            <xsd:enumeration value="com.acme_CollegeAddress"/>
            <xsd:enumeration value="com.acme_BoardingSchoolOffice"/>
            <xsd:enumeration value="com.acme_StorageLocationAddress"/>
        ' >
                                        
<!ENTITY AirBagStatus_entity ''>
<!ENTITY AirBagType_entity ''>

When I run an instance document that uses this setup, Xerces reports a DOM 
error:

DOM001 Modification not allowed

followed by a hard Java crash.
