[Htmlunit-user] Handling of entities in htmlunit?

[Denis N. A. <den...@ca...>]

Hi

I'm using htmlunit through webtest (<http://webtest.canoo.com>, for 
those that don't know it).
In the present case, Webtest lets htmlunit generate a dom of an html 
page before querying the document with xpath.
For example <verifyxpath xpath="/html/body/h2" text="Resultate"/> makes 
sure that a h2 header displays the text 'Resultate'.

I have the problem that, at some time, the text I want webtest to 
verify is using html entities:
<verifyxpath xpath="/html/body/h2" text="Resultate f&amp;uuml;r das 
Team 33"/>

With the help of Marc, I've found that htmlunit is always generating a 
dom where all entities have been resolved.

nekohtml seems to provide a feature 
(http://apache.org/xml/features/scanner/notify-builtin-refs) to tell 
when/where the
source contains entities (see description at 
<http://cvs.apache.org/~andyc/neko/doc/html/settings.html#notify- 
builtin-html-refs>).

Does someone know if it is possible to get a dom tree in which the text 
nodes contain entitites instead of characters?

Does it make sense?

Was it already tried?

Would it be difficult?
