I GUARANTEE it is not the DB. If it was the DB it wouldn't display correctly the first time.

Manually inserting the string into the DB over the same DB drivers works fine.
This is purely a servlet / cocoon issue. On Wed, 2002-09-18 at 15:50, Antonio Gallardo Rivera wrote: > Please tell us what database are you using?
