XOM API for Processing XML with Java

[Luca Passani <passani AT eunet.no>]

Hi, I just figured that XML is touchy about using entities in attribute 
value even for super-simple XML files with no DTD:

        <capability name="entity_euro" value="&euro;"/>

Caused by: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: The entity "euro" was 
referenced, but
not declared.

org.apache.xerces.parsers.AbstractSAXParser.parse(AbstractSAXParser.j
ava:1189)
       at nu.xom.Builder.build(Builder.java:1127)


is there a standard way to escape entities in XML?

who said that XML was simple? it is horrendously gotcha-ridden....

Thanks

Luca
