Re: [dom4j-user] Escaping

[Evan Kirkconnell]

I get the same behavior with a literal value.

            option.addAttribute("value", "&blah");

            if( value.equals(selected) ){
                option.addAttribute("selected", "selected");
            }

            if(one || (first != null && last == null) ) option.setText( 
encodeXML(value) );
            else{
                if(last != null) option.setText( encodeXML( 
DOMTools.trim(rs.getString(last)) ) );
                else option.setText("blah & blah");

produces an XML error with this output:
<option value="&amp;blah">blah & blah</option>
