[castor-dev] XML marshal and unmarshal of entities

[Kuntz, Tim]

        I am having a problem with the entities &, <, and > during the
marshal process. They are not being escaped to &amp;, &lt; and &gt;. The
unmarshal of the same entities _is_ being handled correctly. I'm sure there
is a simple property setting that I am missing and was hoping someone could
point me in the right direction.

        Sample code...

        // xml element... <description>Smith &amp;
Wesson&lt;br&gt;</description>
        StringReader sr = new StringReader( xml );
        MyClass myClass = MyClass.unmarshal( sr );

        System.out.println(myClass.getDescription());

        // prints Smith & Wession<br>

        java.io.StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
        org.exolab.castor.xml.Marshaller.marshal( myClass, sw );

        System.out.println( sw.toString() );

        // prints       <description>Smith & Wesson<br></description>
        // should be    <description>Smith &amp;
Wesson&lt;br&gt;</description>

thanks,
Tim Kuntz
