What version of Xerces are you using? If it's not a 3.x version, you are
hitting the bug described at
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XERCESC-1547

I don't mind taking that, but there is descrepency in how XercesC and XercesJ
behaves. XercesC writes tab character as literal tab whereas XercesJ writes
it to Hex char reference code.
Writing a literal tab is bad idea as parser will convert it to space when it
reads xml file. Hex code is read back as tab character by parser.

Perhaps this is good to read. I am not expert enough to say, but it seems
to me that tabs in attribute values may not be preserved:

Subject: RE: Xerces CPP does not replace tab character in attribute value
with hexadecimal char reference
I tried writing \t as well as	. \t gets written as literal tab
whereas
	 gets written as	 replacing the& value.
What I need finally is	 written out to xml file. Alternatively, Is
there any way to escape& in the value of	 getting replaced to&

I think that was the first line in the example:
pRow->setAttribute(L"description", L"\tThe value of PI");

If you invoke
pRow1->setAttribute(L"description", L"	The vale of PI");
what you are writing is the literal "	", not a tab character. Have
you tried writing the same content as in the Java version,
pRow1->setAttribute(L"description", L"test tab \t, and \x09 as	
value" );

I have a sample xerces writer code to create an attribute with tab
character
in value. When I write the xml file out, the tab character is preserved
and
written as literal tab. I want to convert this tab character to its
hexadecimal char reference (	) so that this tab character can be
parsed
back. I tried the same code using Xerces-J and it is replacing the tab
character with hexadecimal char reference.
Here is the code snippets.
-------------------
C++
-------------------
XMLPlatformUtils::Initialize();
DOMImplementation * pDOMImplementation = NULL;
pDOMImplementation =
DOMImplementationRegistry::getDOMImplementation(XMLString::transcode("core"));
DOMDocument * pDOMDocument = NULL;
pDOMDocument = pDOMImplementation->createDocument(0,
L"Hello_World", 0);
DOMElement * pRootElement = NULL;
pRootElement = pDOMDocument->getDocumentElement();
DOMElement * pRow = NULL;
pRow = pDOMDocument->createElement(L"row");
pRow->setAttribute(L"description", L"\tThe value of PI");
pRootElement->appendChild(pRow);
DOMElement * pRow1 = NULL;
pRow1 = pDOMDocument->createElement(L"row");
pRow1->setAttribute(L"description", L"	The vale of PI");
pRootElement->appendChild(pRow1);
DOMElement * pRow2 = NULL;
pRow2 = pDOMDocument->createElement(L"row");
pRow2->setAttribute(L"description", L"\nThe value of PI");
pRootElement->appendChild(pRow2);
DOMWriter *pwriter = pDOMImplementation->createDOMWriter();
XMLFormatTarget *pTarget = new
LocalFileFormatTarget("f:\\june1\\june.xml");
pwriter->writeNode(pTarget, *pDOMDocument);
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------
Java
------------------
Document zTest =
DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl.newInstance().newDocumentBuilder().newDocument();
Element base = zTest.createElement( "Base" );
base.setAttribute( "test", "test tab \t, and \u0009
as	
value" );
zTest.appendChild( base );
Serializer z = new XMLSerializer();
z.setOutputByteStream( System.out );
z.asDOMSerializer().serialize( zTest );
