[jdom-interest] How to not expand entities?

[Indrayan, Rahul]

Again, a question related to the same code: -

import java.io.*;
import org.jdom.*;
import org.jdom.input.*;
import org.jdom.output.*;

public class Spike {
	public static void main(String args[]) {
		try {
			SAXBuilder builder = new SAXBuilder(false);
			builder.setExpandEntities(false);
			String xml = "<?xml version=\"1.0\"
encoding=\"UTF-8\"?><!DOCTYPE root SYSTEM \"foo.dtd\"><root><proof>This is
&#xe1; foofoo &#xf3; stuff!</proof></root>";
			new XMLOutputter().output(
				builder.build(new StringReader(xml)),
					new PrintWriter(new
FileWriter("c:\\proof.xml")));
		}
		catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); }
	}
}


How do I output the XML to a string so that unicode such as &#xe1; does not
get expanded and the file represent the special characters with their
unexpanded equivalents (i.e., &#xe1;)?

Thanks!
