[jdom-interest] DOMOutputter removes entities

[Yoon, Joe]

Upon further testing, the entities are NOT removed. Instead, when I output
the XML using the following code:

        org.apache.xml.serialize.XMLSerializer serializer = new
XMLSerializer();
        serializer.setOutputByteStream(System.out);
        serializer.serialize(domDoc);

this is the result:

<!ENTITY Circle SYSTEM "circle.gif" NDATA eps>
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE item SYSTEM "sentence_completion_wrapper.dtd">

Somehow, the entity declaration is at the beginning.

Checking out the JDOM doc using:

        XMLOutputter xmlout = new XMLOutputter();
        System.out.println(xmlout.outputString(jdomDoc));

yields:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE item SYSTEM "sentence_completion_wrapper.dtd" [

<!ENTITY Circle SYSTEM "circle.gif" NDATA eps>
]>

Which is correct. So, converting from JDOM to DOM seems not to work
properly.

Using b8.

Doing the following removes all the entities from the DOCTYPE declaration.

    public org.w3c.dom.Document convert(org.jdom.Document jdomDoc) throws
JDOMException, IOException {
        org.jdom.output.DOMOutputter outputter = new DOMOutputter();
        org.w3c.dom.Document domDoc = outputter.output(jdomDoc);
        return domDoc;
    }

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
