Hi Joe, Christine is right for the serializer that is packaged with Xalan, but are you using the Xerces serializer?
Your note had this code:
<<
OutputFormat format = new OutputFormat ("xml", encoding, indentResult);
format.setOmitXMLDeclaration (true);
serializer = new XMLSerializer (outputStream, format);
>>
but both OutputFormat and XMLSerializer are classes defined in
xercesImpl.jar.
To use the Xalan serializer look at the example on
http://xml.apache.org/xalan-j/apidocs/org/apache/xml/serializer/Serializer.html.
The example on that javadoc page shows you how to create and use a
serializer from Xalan.
If you are using this serializer then Christine's comments on
XMLEntities.properties apply, otherwise you have to pass the question to
the Xerces mailing list ( [email protected] ).

Re: Apostrophe problem with xalan
2.7.0
Hi, Nirmal
For XML output, only <, &, ", > will be escaped. If you want to escape ? ?
?, you can create your own org.apache.xml.serializer.XMLEntities.properties
file to replace the default one.

Apostrophe problem with
xalan 2.7.0
Hi everyone,
While using xalan 2.1.0 and xerces 1.4.3 jars, the out file will have
the ?'? in place of
? ? ? Literal in input file.
When we use the latest version of xalan 2.7.0 and xerces 2.8.0, it will
result
the same ? ? ? literal in out file,
The classes and methods that we suspected regarding this conversion are
OutputFormat format = new OutputFormat ("xml", encoding, indentResult);
format.setOmitXMLDeclaration (true);
serializer = new XMLSerializer (outputStream, format);
We need ?'? in output file, can anyone help me in this regard.
Thanks and Regards
