" is a predefined entity reference in XML. It is equivalent in XML to the " character in character data. That is the whole point of the entity. If you want the literal """ then you should escape it as """. - Wing Yew

For example, I parse the following basic well-formed XML file: <test>this is a test for quotes: ", " end</test>. XMLBeans considers " and " as the same entity, and when I render it, " and " are displayed either as 2 quotes (") or as 2 special character quotes (") if I use XmlOptionCharEscapeMap. Having the distinction between " and " is very critical for my project and I don't know how to make it work the way I want. Does anybody would have an idea please?
