Controlling encoding/escaping of an attribute
Hi,
I am using xmlbeans to generate the xml that is posted to a web
service. The web service provider is rather picky about the
encoding/escaping of the content of one of the attributes.
Particularly, they ask that line feeds be terminated by
For example:
<request>
<message text="This is the first line. This is the second
line. This is the third line."/>
</request>
If I try to just use a \r\n or a \n, that appears without modification
in the xml.
If I try to set the encoded value explicitly, xmlbeans converts the
leading ampersand to &
How can I control the escaping of the attribute so that the line feed
character has this encoding?
Thanks,
Garth

Garth,
what you need is XmlOptionCharEscapeMap.
See
http://xmlbeans.apache.org/docs/2.1.0/reference/org/apache/xmlbeans/XmlO
ptionCharEscapeMap.html.
E.g.,
XmlOptionCharEscapeMap escapes = new XmlOptionCharEscapeMap();
escapes.addMapping('A', XmlOptionCharEscapeMap.HEXADECIMAL);
escapes.addMapping('B', XmlOptionCharEscapeMap.DECIMAL);
escapes.addMapping('>', XmlOptionCharEscapeMap.PREDEF_ENTITY);
XmlOptions opts = new XmlOptions();
opts.setSaveSubstituteCharacters(escapes);
System.out.println(myXml.xmlText(opts));
will result in:
A being printed as A
B being printed as B
> being printed as >
Cheers,
Wing Yew
