RE: Controlling encoding/escaping of an attribute

[Wing Yew Poon]

Garth,
what you need is XmlOptionCharEscapeMap.
See
http://xmlbeans.apache.org/docs/2.1.0/reference/org/apache/xmlbeans/XmlO
ptionCharEscapeMap.html.
E.g.,

      XmlOptionCharEscapeMap escapes = new XmlOptionCharEscapeMap();
      escapes.addMapping('A', XmlOptionCharEscapeMap.HEXADECIMAL);
      escapes.addMapping('B', XmlOptionCharEscapeMap.DECIMAL);
      escapes.addMapping('>', XmlOptionCharEscapeMap.PREDEF_ENTITY);

      XmlOptions opts = new XmlOptions();
      opts.setSaveSubstituteCharacters(escapes);
      System.out.println(myXml.xmlText(opts));

      will result in:
      A being printed as A
      B being printed as B
      > being printed as > 

Cheers,
Wing Yew

Subject: Controlling encoding/escaping of an attribute

Hi,
I am using xmlbeans to generate the xml that is posted to a web
service. The web service provider is rather picky about the
encoding/escaping of the content of one of the attributes.
Particularly, they ask that line feeds be terminated by 

For example:
<request>
  <message text="This is the first line.&#10;This is the second
line.&#10;This is the third line."/>
</request>

If I try to just use a \r\n or a \n, that appears without modification
in the xml.
If I try to set the encoded value explicitly, xmlbeans converts the
leading ampersand to &amp;
How can I control the escaping of the attribute so that the line feed
character has this encoding?
Thanks,
Garth
