I get the same behavior with a literal value. option.addAttribute("value", "&blah"); if( value.equals(selected) ){ option.addAttribute("selected", "selected"); } if(one || (first != null && last == null) ) option.setText( encodeXML(value) ); else{ if(last != null) option.setText( encodeXML( DOMTools.trim(rs.getString(last)) ) ); else option.setText("blah & blah"); produces an XML error with this output: <option value="&blah">blah & blah</option> Evan Kirkconnell wrote: > The database contains: D&G | Dumfries & Galloway Region > > With this code, I get an XML parse error because my response type is > text/xml, and when I view the source(in FF) I get: > > <option value="D&G">Dumfries & Galloway Region</option> > > public static String encodeXML(String input){ > return input; > /* > StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer(input); > DOMTools.replace(sb, "&", "&", false); > DOMTools.replace(sb, "<", "<", false); > DOMTools.replace(sb, ">", ">", false); > return sb.toString(); > */ > } > > When I take out the comments and do the manual replace then I get & > > I would guess that's it has to do with character encoding except that > it's working correctly for the value set with addAttribute.
