   Re: RE: [xml-dev] XML inside another XML

[ Lists Home | Date Index | Thread Index ]

We are currently using Cdata.
But there is the possibility that the contained XML might have ]]> token.

1. I m wondering how one is supposed to escape ( convert )  using Java, the XML so that > < etc appear as &gt; &lt; etc.

2. By the way is it true - told by somebody - that even escaping will not help as the parser will convert &gt; &lt; etc to > < etc before the parsing begins ?

Thanks
