Special character issues

[Roch B <ro...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I've got some trouble to customize the parsing/saving mode for XMLBeans.

For example, I parse the following basic well-formed XML file: <test>this is
a test for quotes: ", &quot; end</test>.

XMLBeans considers " and &quot; as the same entity, and when I render it, "
and &quot; are displayed either as 2 quotes (") or as 2 special character
quotes (&quot;) if I use XmlOptionCharEscapeMap. Having the distinction
between " and &quot; is very critical for my project and I don't know how to
make it work the way I want. Does anybody would have an idea please?

Thank you,

Rok

" is a predefined entity reference in XML. It is equivalent in XML
to the " character in character data. That is the whole point of the
entity. If you want the literal """ then you should escape it as
""".
