Subject: Re: [xsl] Issue with entities in XML document From: David Carlisle <davidc@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 3 Aug 2007 23:58:38 +0100 |
presumably your extension function is _serialising_ the xml content as a string containg XML markup, which you don't want. you just want it to return a string. <description>Hansel & Gretel</description> so the content of that element is a string of length 15 "Hansel & Gretel" If you need to write that string to an _XML_ document/file/stream then you need to write out the & as &, and that's what presumably the strringwriter is doing. but you are not writing to a linearised XMl document you are calling an XPath extension function and writing the string straight back into an XPath value, so the value of the element you create is "Hansel & Gretel" and when the element is serialised as the result of the XSLT transformation, you get "Hansel &amp; Gretel" So I suspect that the problem is with your extension function returning XML markup rather than just a string (if it just returns a single element value) or an in-memory tree of some sort (if it is constructing an element tree). Of course details of how extension functions work and how java trees map to XPath trees depend on the processor you are using.
