Re: [dom4j-user] Escaping

[Evan Kirkconnell]

The database contains: D&G | Dumfries & Galloway Region

With this code, I get an XML parse error because my response type is 
text/xml, and when I view the source(in FF) I get:

<option value="D&amp;G">Dumfries & Galloway Region</option>

public static String encodeXML(String input){
        return input;
        /*
        StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer(input);       
        DOMTools.replace(sb, "&", "&amp;", false);
        DOMTools.replace(sb, "<", "&lt;", false);
        DOMTools.replace(sb, ">", "&gt;", false);       
        return sb.toString();
        */
    }

When I take out the comments and do the manual replace then I get &amp;

I would guess that's it has to do with character encoding except that 
it's working correctly for the value set with addAttribute.  Maybe I'll 
give it a shot with a literal and see what happens.
