[jibx-users] Processing XML external entities with JIBX ?

[Luca B. <lbu...@ma...>]

Hi,
I would like to unmarshall a XML data file that contains some external 
entities.
The file begins with the declaration <!DOCTYPE MyEntities SYSTEM 
'entity.dtd'[ ]> and the file entity.dtd contains the entity definition.
When parsing, it looks like JIBX simply ignores the DTD declaration, and 
terminates on the first entity reference &...; with the exception:
---
org.xmlpull.v1.XmlPullParserException: could not resolve entity named '...'
---
I browsed the documentation of the XPP3 parsed and I discovered this 
parser dosen't handle the DOCDECL istructions ...
I have a couple of questions:
1) Is it true that JIBX can't handle DTD and external entities due to 
the underlying XPP3 parser limitation, or am I wrong ?
2) If it is true what is the best approach to solve this problem ?

Any help or suggestion will be appreciated.

Thank you.
