Hello, The symbol '>' is a valid character.
Only the characters '<' and '&' are key syntax markers and have to be escaped. Regards, From: jamie.t...@oneamerica.com [mailto:jamie.t...@oneamerica.com] Sent: Thursday, January 06, 2011 2:51 AM To: jibx-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [jibx-users] Q: Replacing > with > automatically? Hi there, I'm working through a little proof of concept and have run into a small issue. I have searched the archives the best I could and not found any message that addresses this. My apologies if it has been asked before, if so it just points out deficiencies in my search criteria skills. I'm being supplied data that I cannot control (from a UI, for instance) where any value could be coming to me for a given attribute including "&", "<", and ">" - which from what I understand is not valid XML character data according to the XML specification if I'm reading it properly. http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/REC-xml-20001006#syntax I created a test data class to test my binding, and populated lastName with a value containing these known characters that need replacement with the appropriate escape character sequence. The other data in it is being converted just fine - it is just here for an example. TestDataClass[ firstName: Test First Name lastName: special&character<test>here dataDate: Wed Jan 05 20:01:31 EST 2011 requestNumber: 1 attributeId: attributeId ] Here's my binding file: <binding> <mapping name="ROOT" class="com.james.TestDataClass"> <format type="java.util.Date" serializer="com.james.TestDataConverter.serializeDate" deserializer="com.james.TestDataConverter.deserializeDate" /> <structure name="TEST_INFO" ordered="false" > <value name="ID" style="attribute" field="attributeId" usage="optional"/> <structure name="NAME" usage="optional"> <value name="FIRST_NAME" field="firstName" usage="optional"/> <value name="LAST_NAME" field="lastName" usage="optional"/> </structure> <value name="DATE" field="dataDate" usage="optional"/> <value name="REQUEST_NUMBER" field="requestNumber" usage="optional"/> </structure> </mapping> </binding> What I expected was that the LAST_NAME tag would have the special character's escaped - that the character value would be 'special&character<test>here'. However, that is not what I see when I generated the XML. Instead, this is what I received: <?xml version="1.0"?> <ROOT> <TEST_INFO ID="attributeId"> <NAME> <FIRST_NAME>Test First Name</FIRST_NAME> <LAST_NAME>special&character<test>here</LAST_NAME> </NAME> <DATE>01-05-11</DATE> <REQUEST_NUMBER>1</REQUEST_NUMBER> </TEST_INFO> </ROOT> Specifically, I expected the escaped value of '>' to have replaced the '>' in my test string value. Is there something built into jibx that does this conversion automatically - perhaps an option that I'm neglecting to set in my binding file? I know that I could write a custom serializer/deserializer for String, but thought that perhaps I'm not the only one who has faced this issue. Perhaps I'm missing the true issue - I welcome your feedback.
