[jdom-interest] Document converting < and > characters into &lt; and &gt;

[Heise, Robert]

Hello,

Im wondering if anybody can assist or  has run into this issue before:

I have an external source which is returning xml.  When I obtain that
xml via BufferedReader the xml looks like this:

<RIBCL><RESPONSE    STATUS="0x0000"    MESSAGE='No error'     /></RIBCL>

However when I create a new JDOM Document and add content like this:

Element root = new Element("responses");
root.addContent(inputLine);

And then output the Document via:

Document doc = new Document(root);
        doc.setDocType(new DocType("base64"));
        System.out.println(doc.getDocType());
        
        
        Format format = Format.getPrettyFormat();
               
        
        XMLOutputter serializer = new XMLOutputter(format);
        String xml = serializer.outputString(doc);
        
        System.out.println(xml);

Where there appears to be a valide "<" or ">" tag it is replacing with
&lt; &gt; 

<responses>&lt;RIBCL&gt;&lt;RESPONSESTATUS="0x0000"MESSAGE='Noerror'/&gt
;&lt;

How do I get make sure the string content with < and > tags are not
replaced with &gt and &lt symbols?

Thanks in advance
Rob
