I wrote code to convert a xml document to its string equivalent. Now the problem is that JAXP converts all my & to & I don't want this conversion. Any suggestions?
The code is as follows:
private byte[] xmlToString(byte[] metadataXMLData)
{
byte[] updatedMetaDataXMLData = null;
try
{
ByteArrayInputStream bais = new ByteArrayInputStream(metadataXMLData);
DocumentBuilderFactory builderFactory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder docBuilder = builderFactory.newDocumentBuilder();
org.w3c.dom.Document metadataXMLDoc = docBuilder.parse(bais);
StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
TransformerFactory xformFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Transformer idTransform = xformFactory.newTransformer();
Source input = new DOMSource(metadataXMLDoc);
Result output = new StreamResult(sw);
idTransform.transform(input, output);
updatedMetaDataXMLData = sw.toString().getBytes();
}
catch (Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
return updatedMetaDataXMLData;
}
