Thank you Ognjen, You are correct about your statement.
I also suceeded without any problem to do the excaping for </codeDescription> -> </codeDescription> As I am developping in a English (Western country) environment with eclipse I cannot display the word *Основное *from * Основное* in the Eclipse console (I mean when I do a System.out.println....). This is due in my understanding because I am working with Latin encoding and I should change my environment (of the Console output) to another encoding thing that I do not want to do. May I ask you which is your Environment setting in your machine (Russian KOI)? Thank you Ognjen.
