DOM Parser unescaping escaped characters

           Summary: DOM Parser unescaping escaped characters
           Product: Xerces-J
           Version: 1.4.1
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: DOM
        AssignedTo: xerces-j-dev@xml.apache.org
        ReportedBy: lchui@everypath.com
                CC: lchui@everypath.com


I created an InputSource which is initialized with a string containing already 
escaped characters:
... my data contains already escaped character &amp; DOM parser unescaped it ..

After running DOMParser.parse(), the escaped characters become unescaped:
... my data contains already escaped character & DOM parser unescaped it ... 

The resulting XML document is subsequently passed to another XML parser and 
there I got a parsing exception.

Is there any configuration parameter to tell the DOM parser not to unescape my 
data? 

Thanks in advance,
Lisa Chui
