Hi!
I'd like to create the following within an XML Document:

<!DOCTYPE eka:View [ <!ENTITY popstar-organization
"http://www.athena-ip.org/popstar/organization.xml#" > ] >

How can I do this? (I constructed the XML-file by means of DOM)

Thanks in advance,
Marcus

Don't think you can do that with DOM, entities are part of the document
type and not part of the Document Object Model. You might be able to do
this in SAX thu...

Thanks. I thought, since DOM creates the <xml...>- and
<!DOCTYPE...>-tags as well, it could do so for the ENTITYS which are
placed on the same "level".

??

If not, how to do this with SAX?

thanks in advance.

Generating XML documents with SAX is just a difficult way of generating
XML documents manually in code, IMHO. Take being said, when I Google
"generate xml sax", the first result is an tutorial on generate XML
documents using SAX. It's written in Python, bug the algorithm itself isn't
difficult to grasp.

Frankly it's just recursive method calls, like a reverse Visitor
pattern.
