A javabean that uses sax is having trouble importing
an xml file that has in the fields.
Nothing wrong with your parser... the XML that contains a reference to an
entity other than one of the predefined ones (amp, lt, gt, quot, apos) must
reference a DTD containing a declaration of that entity. (DTDs are checked
for entity declarations and attribute value defaults even if the parser is
not validating.)
First ensure that the nbsp entity is declared. For example, this will always
work:
<!DOCTYPE foo [ <!ENTITY nbsp " "> ]>
....and this will work if your XML parser is configured to read external DTDs
(they have the option not to read any external files at all):
<!DOCTYPE foo SYSTEM "xhtml-lat1.ent">
If you go with the latter example, get xhtml-lat1.ent from
http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml-lat1.ent and put it in the same
directory as the XML; don't refer to the w3.org copy directly. See the XHTML
spec for references to the other .ent files for all the HTML/XHTML entities.
