Java EE (Java Enterprise Edition) General Discussion

Hi all,

i have some text in my xml-string with html-entities which i want to keep while parsing into a document. but after parsing, the xml entities will be resolved in real characters. what can i do to stop this resolving.

e.g.{color:#0000ff} i want to keep the entity da&#xDF and don't want to resolve it in daß{color}

{color:#0000ff}Sample XML-Text{color}
{color:#993366}
<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>
<a>this is a german umlaut: da& #xDF; </a>{color}

{color:#0000ff}*Sample SourceCode:*{color}

import java.io.StringReader;
import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder;
import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory;
import javax.xml.transform.Transformer;
import javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory;
import javax.xml.transform.dom.DOMSource;
import javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamResult;
import org.w3c.dom.Document;
import org.xml.sax.InputSource;

public class test1 {



public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
{

String xmldata="<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?><a>this is a german umlaut: da& #xDF;</a>";



DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();

factory.setNamespaceAware(true);

DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();

Document doc= null;

doc=builder.parse(new InputSource(new StringReader(xmldata)));

//Write to System.out

TransformerFactory tf = TransformerFactory.newInstance();

Transformer trans = tf.newTransformer();

trans.transform(new DOMSource(doc), new StreamResult(System.out));
}
}

the output is:
this is a german umlaut: da�

but i want:
this is a german umlaut: da& #xDF;


thanks for helping to find a solution
