[jira] Commented: (XERCESJ-1005) White space around ampersand is lost while parsing xml

    [ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XERCESJ-1005?page=comments#action_12312939 ] 

Joe Washington commented on XERCESJ-1005:
-----------------------------------------

In addressing this issue of  "whitespace around the ampersand being lost while parsing xml", the 2.6.2 versions of xercesImpl.jar and xml-apis.jar were loaded in the lib directory and the problem still persists.  Does anyone 
know whether other jar files are required or some type of configuration is needed to be put in place?

> White space on either side of the ampersand symbol (&amp;) disappears during parsing xml. e.g. the xml
> <abc>a and b &amp; c</abc>
> generates the element:
> a and b&c
> instead of:
> a and b & c
> A similar problem existed with parsing of double quotes (&quot;) in version 2.3 but seems to have been fixed in later versions.
> I am seeing this behavior while using Castor (which uses xerses API internally). So I am not sure which component of Xerces API causes this behavior. More specifically, I see this behavior in the unmarshal(java.io.Reader) method of the org.exolab.castor.xml.Unmarshaller class.
