RE: XML Strings with special Characters

[Lewis, David]

The easiest way to set Strings containing “special characters” that you do not want parsed is to wrap them in a CDATA section: http://www.w3.org/TR/xml11/#dt-cdsection   The solution for your example would be: parentName.setName("<![CDATA[kathir&]]>");   Cheers,   ~ David From: kathiresan jeyapandian [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: July 13, 2006 6:09 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: XML Strings with special Characters   Hi All,          I am trying to set the string content of an element.        I simply do parentName.setName("kathir&");        The problem is that the string contains ampersands (&). In the xml i am getting & instead of getting &amp;        I need to get the output xml with & as &amp;   Please help me. Thanks, J.Kathir     Find out what India is talking about on Yahoo!
