Are u trying to serialize the DOM ? org.apache.xml.serialize.XMLSerializer has 
protected method  " getEntityRef(int:ch):String " and u can over-ride its 
behavior, i am not very confident here but i think that changed behavior will 
be 
reflected in all occurences of that predefined enity in DOM. So, u have to be 
careful here that u dont produce invalid XML document , say if u change the 
behavior, "<" being returned for '<' than "lt" , your output will be 
<foo><text</foo>  than <foo>&lt;text</foo> which is invalid XML document.
