How to display " as " in XML

[vikas sharmaa]

I used XStream to generate XML from Java object. Some values in the XML contain quotes(") for e.g. <name>"""Manas "" Sahu""</name>.

I set response.setContentType(application/xml) in my servlet.
While opening this XML file in IE it is displaying correctly as

<name>"""Manas "" Sahu""</name>

but if I save that file as XML and open that file in a notepad or Editplus it displays the value as

<name>"""Manas "" Sahu""</name>.

So my need is while opening in any editor it should display " in place of ". So could i be able to this please suggest.
Thanks in advance.

Hi mate,

I guess the problem is with the version of the browser you used.
Because, I tried to simulate the same problem here and I was unable to do so.

I tried Unmarshalling and then Marshalling an XML with quotes. I used castor.
With castor again, I got proper results, ie, the quote was displayed as is.

Then I opened it in IE 6 and 7. Here again the quote was displayed as is.
Then I saved the file as an XML from IE, and opened it again using notepad editor.
The quote was displayed properly as is. It was not displayed as ampersand quote.
