RE: [castor-user] XML message contains &

& is a correct way to represent an ampersand in syntactically valid xml, a single & is not.

you have to escape the ampersand somehow; otherwise, it has to begin an entity.

When you unmarshal the xml text the resulting String will contain the &. Or if you use an xml parser to create a DOM or process the xml using xslt (which uses an xml parser) to produce non-xml the value will contain the desired character

Importance: High

While generating XML using castor marshal method; if data object contains ‘&‘ character; it is getting converted into &

How to avoid this? I want the same character back in XML message. Please help.

Sample code:

StringWriter writer = new StringWriter();

String xml = null;

dpMessage.marshal(writer);

xml = writer.toString();

Input data:

ELLSWORTH & GRAHAM BOOK SHOP Accounts/47-3423230

Output xml:

<body>

<dsCompanyName_TIN>ELLSWORTH & GRAHAM BOOK SHOP Accounts/47-3423230</dsCompanyName_TIN>

</detailedSummary>

</body>

</DPMessage>

Thanks,

Pravin
