Re: [xsl] > replaced by ">", < is not replaced...

Hi there,

This is the Java code that is used for the transformation:
[code]
   private String convertSelectionToHTML(String p_selection)
   {
      // setup error logging
      XmlOptions validateOptions = new XmlOptions();
      ArrayList<XmlError> errorList = new ArrayList<XmlError>();
      validateOptions.setErrorListener(errorList);

      try
      {
         Transformer transfomer = getTransformer();

         logger.debug("------------------------------------");
         logger.debug("Parsing body[" + p_selection + "]");
         XmlObject bodyObject = XmlObject.Factory.parse(p_selection,
validateOptions);

         // transform body
         DOMResult bodyTransformResult = new DOMResult();
         DOMSource bodyTransformSource = new
DOMSource(bodyObject.getDomNode());
         transfomer.transform(bodyTransformSource, bodyTransformResult);
         bodyObject =
XmlObject.Factory.parse(bodyTransformResult.getNode());

         logger.debug("after transformation: " + bodyObject.toString());
         logger.debug("------------------------------------");

         return bodyObject.xmlText();
      }
      catch (XmlException e)
      {
         logger.error("Unable to parse body: " + p_selection, e);
         if (!errorList.isEmpty())
         {
            for (XmlError error : errorList)
            {
               logger.error("\t-" + error.getMessage() +
"\n\t\tLocation of invalid XML: "
                     + error.getCursorLocation().xmlText() + "\n");
            }
         }
      }
      catch (TransformerException e)
      {
         logger.error("Unable to parse body: " + p_selection, e);
         if (!errorList.isEmpty())
         {
            for (XmlError error : errorList)
            {
               logger.error("\t-" + error.getMessage() +
"\n\t\tLocation of invalid XML: "
                     + error.getCursorLocation().xmlText() + "\n");
            }
         }
      }
      return null;
   }

   private Transformer getTransformer()
   {
      Transformer result = null;
      TransformerFactory transformerFactory =
TransformerFactory.newInstance();
      try
      {
         result = transformerFactory.newTransformer(new
StreamSource(this.getClass().getClassLoader()
               .getResourceAsStream("selection-view.xsl")));
      }
      catch (TransformerConfigurationException e)
      {
         logger.error("Error creating transformer", e);
      }
      return result;
   }
[/code]

Actually I want all the HTML things to be preserved, other things which 
are removed by the transition are things like: &#160;, which I all want 
to keep.
