why are > and apostroph not escaped in attributes ?
Hello from Berlin !
I just wonder, why the code of Saver.entitizeAttrValue() contains escaping for < to < but not > to >.
Is the use of > and apostroph restricted in attribute values ?
And next question: Has someone use sucessfull the XMLOptions.setSaveSubstituteCcharacters() -method ?
Regards ?

Maarten,
I believe you are correct that xmlbeans 2.0.0 did not escape the '>'
in "]]>" when it's not the end of a CDATA section.
This was fixed in 2.1.0.
See http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XMLBEANS-192.
Frank,
since you obviously have looked at xmlbeans src, take a look at
test/src/misc/detailed/CharEscapeTest.java.
You'll find there examples of how to use XmlOptionCharEscapeMap in
conjunction with XmlOptions.setSaveSubstituteCharacters().

Hm, I think you mean XMLBeans is not doing the "MUST, for compatibility,
be escaped using either ">" or a character reference when it appears
in the string "]]>" in content, when that string is not marking the end
of a CDATA section" part, right? But the rest is done as per spec.

--------------------
The ampersand character (&) and the left angle bracket (<) MUST NOT
appear in their literal form, except when used as markup delimiters, or
within a comment, a processing instruction, or a CDATA section. If they
are needed elsewhere, they MUST be escaped using either numeric
character references or the strings "&" and "<" respectively.
The right angle bracket (>) MAY be represented using the string ">",
and MUST, for compatibility, be escaped using either ">" or a
character reference when it appears in the string "]]>" in content, when
that string is not marking the end of a CDATA section.
In the content of elements, character data is any string of characters
which does not contain the start-delimiter of any markup and does not
include the CDATA-section-close delimiter, "]]>". In a CDATA section,
character data is any string of characters not including the
CDATA-section-close delimiter, "]]>".
To allow attribute values to contain both single and double quotes, the
apostrophe or single-quote character (') MAY be represented as "'",
and the double-quote character (") as """.
------------------
It seems that xmlbeans 2.0.0 does not escape "<"
when it appears in the string "]]>"
I haven't tested it with later versions.
