Re: Incorrect XML escaping of semicolon
This seems to be a long known bug in GWT (reported with high priority
in 2007) that somehow never got fixed:

Re: Incorrect XML escaping of semicolon
Does this happen in all browsers, or just one? GWT uses the browser to
perform the XML document/node manipulation.

Incorrect XML escaping of semicolon
Hi,
It seems that GWT DOES escape the semicolon character but actually
this is a valid XML character and should not be escaped according to
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#sec-references and
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_XML_and_HTML_character_entity_references
Here's a snippet of how this error can be reproduced:
public static String escapeXml(String xml) {
Document document= XMLParser.createDocument();
Text textNode= document.createTextNode(xml);
return textNode.toString();
}
calling this method with ";" yields ";". Semi is not defined as a
standard entity and thus produces errors in my backend.
Is this really a bug in the GWT XML parser or is my escaping method
wrong?
thanks for any feedback,
Dennis
