Hi I'm having a problem matching the text of elements that contain ampersands from within dom4j.
My xml is as follows: <categories> <category>A B & C</category> <category>D E F</category> </categories> This xpath expression selects the second category element as expected: String xpathExpression = "/categories/category[text()='D E F']"; This xpath expression fails to select the first category element or any element. String xpathExpression = "/categories/category[text()='A B & C']"; Running the same expression in xpath explorer(http://www.purpletech.com/xpe/index.jsp), it works fine Any thoughts on why this happens would be much appreciated. regards Nigel ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by:Crypto Challenge is now open!
