If I want to send text that contains characters that need to be escaped, is there a utility function in Xerces-J that will escape them for me e.g. if I have "<BUSINESS_NAME>Jones&Co.</BUSINESS_NAME>" how can I caonvert it to "<BUSINESS_NAME>Jones&Co.</BUSINESS_NAME>" or whatever it should be..... I am really looking for a function: String normalize ( String string ); Also when i parse the document, and get the text, will I have to "denormalize"? Any ideas? Thanks lots for any help!! James
