[orbeon-user] RE: Dealing Escape characters in data returned from web service

[Brian Bacsu]

Hi

I am experiencing an issue when processing the data returned from a call to a .NET web service. The response from the web service call is a string that contains an  XML fragment/document. The problem is that the start and end tags "<" and ">" are escaped to "&lt;" and "&gt;". The problem is that when I try use this to update the Instance data, it does not process due to the escaped characters (does not see as XML) such as the example below.

<GetNewEventResult xmlns="TestBusService">&lt;event&gt;

I have tried various methods to try and transform (xslt processor)the data back to the tag characters, but without success. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Brian
