WSDL2Java does not allow the '&' character in the end point address

           Summary: WSDL2Java does not allow the '&' character in the end
                    point address
           Product: Axis
           Version: current (nightly)
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: WSDL processing
        AssignedTo: axis-dev@xml.apache.org
        ReportedBy: pratik.datta@peregrine.com


I have a WSDL in which the end point address is like this:

  <soap:address location="http://evolution/arsys/services/ARService?
server=evolution&webService=WSForm" /> 

When I run it through WSDL2Java the URL becomes like this
private final java.lang.String WSFormSoap_address 
= "http://evolution/arsys/services/ARService?
server=evolution&amp;webService=WSForm";

Notice how the & is becoming  &amp;

I looked at the source of WSDLUtils.java and see that it deliberately doing an 
xmlEncodeString on the URL. Why is it doing that?
