I am having a problem with javax.xml.transform.Transformer
.
I am trying to create a XML document and one of the attributes is HTTP link which contains &
for query. After I've invoked the transform()
method, all the &
characters become &
.
So is there any way that I can configure Transformer not to convert &
to &
? Thanks in advance.
Edit
In the xml document that I am trying to create, one of the attributes is a http link with query string. So what I would like to have as a result is something like
<Notification url="http://www.xyz.com/notify.jsp?param1=123¶m2=345/>
But I am getting now is
<Notification url="http://www.xyz.com/notify.jsp?param1=123&param2=345/>
Because I have to transform the xml document into a String and send it over socket. So I do not want &
converted to &
as final result.
After I've invoked transform method, all the
&
characters become&
That's exactly what has to happen.
What makes you assume that <div>A & B</div>
is correct XML/HTML and something like <div title="A & B" />
is not?
The &
has to be escaped absolutely everywhere, that includes attribute values, such as href
.
