RE: EJB values into xml attributes (a little off topic, I know)

[Randahl Fink Isaksen]

I will rephrase my question then (still, a little off topic):

On Orion at least, it seems transformation only works for element values NOT
for attribute values. If I have

<!DOCTYPE doc [
        <!ENTITY & "&amp;">
]>

Then <doc:p>&</doc:p> will get transformed to <p>&amp;</p>

But <p x="&"/> will just get transformed into <p x = "&"/> because the '&'
is inside an attribute.

How can one accomplish transformation of such attributes?


Yours
Randahl

You can use title as element not as attribut in your XML document.
Then you can to use CDATA. Everything inside a CDATA section is ignored
by the parser.
<poem>
 <title>
<![CDATA[
   everything you want..
]]>

 </title>
</poem>
