(Fwd) Probs with & in data - working fix

[Rob Walker <ro...@ascert.com>]

In fact, having tested this, I found that I need a call to chardata() to make 
this work:

            else if (obj instanceof Hashtable)
            {
                startElement("struct");
                Hashtable struct = (Hashtable) obj;
                for (Enumeration e = struct.keys(); e.hasMoreElements(); )
                {
                    String nextkey = (String) e.nextElement();
                    Object nextval = struct.get(nextkey);
                    startElement("member");
                    startElement("name");
                    //write(nextkey);
                    chardata(nextkey.toString());


Works here anyhow - not sure if it's of use for the community.

Ok,

I think I've found this one. I'm using a Hashtable, and the keys in my 
Hashtable can have an "&" in them.

Looking at the following code in XmlRpc.java.writeObject():

            else if (obj instanceof Hashtable)
            {
                startElement("struct");
                Hashtable struct = (Hashtable) obj;
                for (Enumeration e = struct.keys(); e.hasMoreElements(); )
                {
                    String nextkey = (String) e.nextElement();
                    Object nextval = struct.get(nextkey);
                    startElement("member");
                    startElement("name");
                    write(nextkey);


I suspect that the write(nextkey) should in fact be writeObject(nextkey).
