[philip.nelson at omniresources.com]

I did the intial work for this but it hasn't been rolled into the current
version of JDOM yet.  Soon I hope....

Hi all,

I just came across a question in regard to EntityRef objects. How do
you expand an EntityRef to the text it represents if the entity in
the DTD is eg. defined as follows: 

<!ENTITY Pub-Status "This is a pre-release of the specification.">

That is, when a XML document contains the reference to the entity
Pub-Status (&Pub-Status;) and I built the JDOM tree using DOMBuilder,
entities are not automatically expanded (in contrast to SAXBuilder).
So the tree contains the EntityRef objects which I now would like to
convert into their "real meaning".

But as far as I can see in the javadocs, only getting the
public/system id (when they are present) is supported. Why is there
no method for getting the content?

Cheers,

.bbr
