Re: [dom4j-user] Special Encoding Issue

[David D. Lucas]

If I understand your request, you want to store the character decimal 62 
, hex 3e, octal 76 in the attribute and have it processed throught the 
xml.  Remember, the string going into the attribute is what will come 
out of the attribute.  So the "&" is being escaped because it will 
marshall it safely through XML and back so you have &#62.   But I think 
you want to have the ">", greater than sign, pass to the next 
environment.  If so, use the octal representation in the String.

Try:

att.setValue("\076");  //octal 76 = decimal 62 = ">"

That will show it in the xml as > , but when it comes back from XML, 
it will be the greater than sign again.

Hope that helps,
Dave
