Description

Hi,

There's seems to be a bug at Entities.unescape. Try for example StringEscapeUtils.unescapeHtml("& &"). It outputs "& &" instead of "& &". The problem is at this piece of code:

if (entityValue == -1)

{ buf.append('&'); buf.append(entityName); buf.append(';'); }

else

{ buf.append((char) (entityValue)); }

i = semi;

The method always skips to the next ";", even if it doesn't finds the entity value and then disregarding any entity that may be actually be referred inside.

Regards,
Thiago Souza
