RE: Replace task value can't take less than sign.

XML escapes are just like HTML.

So
< = &lt;
> = &gt;
& = &amp;
etc.

This is the task I am trying to run:

<!--++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++++++++++++-->
<target name="prepareWebXml" 
description="Make web.xml suitable for SSL on production server">
                <replace dir="${web.inf}" value="</auth-constraint>">
                  <include name="web.xml"/>
                  <replacetoken></auth-constraint>
                                                <user-data-constraint>
 
<transport-guarantee>
                                                           CONFIDENTIAL
 
</transport-guarantee>
                                                </user-data-constraint>
                  </replacetoken>
                </replace>
</target>
<!--++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++++++++++++-->
I get this error:
The value of attribute "value" associated with an element type "replace"
must not contain the '<' character.

How can I escape the "<" sign in my value properly?

Thanks in advance.
