XML Strings with special Characters

Hi All,
   
         I am trying to set the string content of an element.
         I simply do parentName.setName("kathir&"); 
         The problem is that the string contains ampersands (&). In the xml i am getting & instead of getting &amp;
         I need to get the output xml with & as &amp;
   
  Please help me.
  Thanks,
J.Kathir

RE: XML Strings with special Characters

Posted by "Lewis, David" <dl...@pfc.cfs.nrcan.gc.ca>.

The easiest way to set Strings containing "special characters" that you
do not want parsed is to wrap them in a CDATA section:

http://www.w3.org/TR/xml11/#dt-cdsection

 

The solution for your example would be:

parentName.setName("<![CDATA[kathir&]]>");

 

Cheers,
