xml properties (replacing entities when Schema validation)

[youngmatthewd]

using entities with XML Schema based documents isn't possible but wondering how people get around the problem of resolving variables when processing. there is an article:

http://www.stylusstudio.com/w3c/schema0/usingEntities.htm

which discribes a method.

basically what i want to do is when processing an XML document to replace variables with values. similar to the way Ant uses properties (the "${}" syntax). somesort of plugin to read "${}" and switch out those properties with values in a properties file.

It is possible to do the validation in tandem by first pass the xml through an identity xsl transformation with the output fed into validation processor. So
>using entities with XML Schema based documents isn't possible
is not exactly the right way to put thing.
