Converting characters in strings to html special entities

[Chris Wilson]

hello all,

i have a quick question regarding html special entities.  i've done some
development in php and they have a function called htmlentities() that will
take a string and convert any appropriate characters to their html entities
(i.e. '<' converted to '&lt;').  is there any similar functionality in
JDK1.2 or the servlet/jsp development kit?

thanks in advance for the help.

cheers,
chris
