How are you coding this?
>From the posted items, it's clear that you are passing a string of XML to an
API that specifically wants text payload. So it's carefully excaping your
less-than signs.
If you tell us what you're calling and where, someone can probably tell you
how to insert an XML element into a DOM tree or otherwise get what you want.

It shouldn't be necessary - both forms are equivalent XML and will come
out the same at the other end. The only characters that absolutely must
be escaped in XML are < (<) and & (&), plus and single or double
quotes that occur in attribute values delimited by the same type of
quote (i.e. attr=""" is the same as attr='"', attr=''' is the
same as attr="'"). Many processors also escape > (>) and
non-attribute ' and " characters, but that isn't required by the spec.
Either way, all the escaping will have been removed by the time the
other end sees the value.

Here we go again. I suggest that you write things like 'convert the
greater-than sign to amp g t semi'.
You shouldn't ever need to do this. No standard-conforming XML processor
needs it.

Dan,
Thanks for the tip, getting closer! One thing I want to now have is for all
the ">" symbols to be converted to ">" to mimic the behavior of the
existing Web Service client (C# based).
Any thoughts on how I might do that?
Sincerely,
Adam

Don't pre-escape it. Let the CXF runtime escape it. The runtime
doesn't know if a string that is being passed in is XML or just a
straight string. Thus, it will always escape any of the XML special
characters. You don't need to do it.

Interestingly, when I inspect the variable I see
http://www.papernapkin.org/pastebin/view/500/
But the result in the trace to the Console via the LoggingOutInterceptor is
still incorrect.

Bugger! I'll try again. What I want to send is
http://www.papernapkin.org/pastebin/view/494/
But what winds up being send it
http://www.papernapkin.org/pastebin/view/496/
The ampersand (spaces added to this example) in the "& lt ; " gets further
delimated with "& amp ; lt ;"
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!
