[jdom-interest] Entities with inner structure

I get an exception when parsing something like

<tag>
	&CancelButton;
</tag>

where CancelButton is an entity that is not string valued but consists of
tag(s):

<!ENTITY CancelButton "<pane type=&#x27;Button&#x27;><ostype
name=&#x27;id&#x27;>&CancelButtonID;</ostype><string
name=&#x22;label&#x22;>Cancel</string></pane>" >


I am using JDOM b4.

What is the preferred way to use this feature?

I would propose that a subclass of Entity would be created in the "tag"
Element, that would have a method for parsing the internal structure of the
entity and giving back its constituents.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
