Replacing of apostrophe (') with entity in generated XML

[Fr...@CIBCMellon.com]

Hey,
I have not seen any direct questions like this but several similar ones. 
When generating an XML doc that contains content which has an apostrophe, 
the apostrophe is generated in its natural form ('). I have not been able 
to see a way to have the actual entity equivalent (') appear in its 
place: even if the original content contains ' it is automatically 
replaced when XMLBeans generates the final XML doc. I know that it is 
legal to have the apostrophe in string content and that XMLBeans uses 
double quotes for attributes so there should be no problem with using them 
in this position, however the application that is being developed requires 
that all apostrophes are replaced in the final XML doc with ' This is 
for government submission, and they require the use of '

I am looking for a finite answer as to whether it can be done through 
XMLBeans in some fashion, for example through some sort of configuration 
that will inform XMLBeans to use the entity. I have not seen this 
documented anywhere specifically, but have seen similar questions that 
have been answered with 'no it cannot be done'.

Thanks in advance for any help,
Fred.
