[jdom-interest] ampersand entity parsing

[tballen at Copart.Com]

Hello.

I realize this may not be a pure JDOM issue but figured I would post 
this question here as I have not been able to find anything substantive.

I have a text node like:
<name>Peter &amp; Paul</name>

The parser returns only:
Peter

It seems to stop right at the ampersand and then moves on to the next element.
No parsing errors occur.
I'm using Xerces as the SAX parser.

Any info. is appreciated.

Thanks,
Todd
