FW: [jdom-interest] & in namespace

[Deshpande, Aniruddha]

Hello,

In my code I need to parse a WSDL file. Since WSDL file is an XML file the contents of namespace URI indeed has "&" and not "&".

I have a test case wherein I have written a small XML file which is parsed and printed with outputter.

Please find attached XML and Java source file. Please change the code according to your settings.

If you look into the output of the program "&" is converted back to "&" in every case except for namespaces.

The code just reads a file, creates a JDOM Document object and passes that to XMLOutputter. I think this basic flow should always lead the same XML file and not an invalid XML file!

With Regards,
Aniruddha Deshpande

I don't believe the namespace URI contains &. I suspect it contains 
& which is escaped as & in XML contexts. The distinction is 
critical. However it does sound like you may have uncovered a serious 
bug in JDOM if indeed JDOM does not escape such ampersands when 
reserializing. Do you have a reproducible test case?
