Hi Jens,
The Xerces Serializers don't need patching on this...that's simply the
way XML works...there are special characters in XML, and '&' is one of
them. It indicates the start of an entity. However, when you have a
string in memory that contains "&" such as:
"if (x < y) {"
Then when you serialize this, you'll get:
if (x &lt; y) {
That's because the serializer wants to make sure that when an XML parser
reads the characters, you'll get back:
"if (x < y) {"
in memory again.
So there is no bug. I understand what you're trying to do, but if you
really want:
if (x < y) {
as your output, then your in-memory string must look like:
"if (x < y) {"
No bugs...just the way XML parsing and serializing works.
