[jdom-interest] JDOM parsing

Fri Feb 15 10:08:09 PST 2002

IIRC, by the time SAXBuilder gets the data from the parser, any default
values for attributes have already been filled in. So there's no way for us
to know if the value was in the original XML file or not. But hasn't there
been some work on attribute types that would let us figure this out? I
forget.

Also, if can know that you're using the Xerces parser, check out
http://xml.apache.org/xerces-j/features.html - the features
http://apache.org/xml/features/nonvalidating/load-dtd-grammar  and
http://apache.org/xml/features/nonvalidating/load-external-dtd  look
promising.
