The character ' is not normalized in class DOMWriter
----------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JBAS-3384
                 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-3384
             Project: JBoss Application Server
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
          Components: Other
    Affects Versions: JBossAS-4.0.4.GA
         Environment: All operating system and software platform
            Reporter: Dirk Moegenburg


Problem: 
---------

The following soap message should parsed by JBossWS/JBoss 4.04GA

<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" 
      xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" 
      xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
   <soap:Body>
      <oms:ExecuteResponse xmlns:oms="http://omsoe.crm.tmobile.net/services/oms">
      <data>
         <ReturnValue code="NOT_VALID" validationErrors="invalid XML &lt;xml-fragment xmlns:ins=&quot;http://omsoe.crm.tmobile.net/datatypes/ccoscks/installakz&quot; xmlns:xsi=&quot;http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance&quot; xmlns:oms=&quot;http://omsoe.crm.tmobile.net/services/oms&quot; xmlns:soapenv=&quot;http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/&quot;/>: Expected elements 'contractNumber iccid msisdn' before the end of the content in element contractIdentificator&#xa;" />
      </data>
      </oms:ExecuteResponse>
   </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

The following exception "caused by: java.io.IOException: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Element type "ReturnValue" must be followed by either attribute specifications, ">" or "/>"." is thrown by JBoss.

Analysis: 
---------
The problem is caused by the XML attribute expression: 

validationErrors="invalid XML ... Expected elements 'contractNumber iccid msisdn' before the end of the content..." 

JBoss performs the following steps:

(1) Converting the soap xml snippet(see above) from XML in a DOM document
(2) Converting DOM document in the xml snippet with the following result:

validationErrors='invalid XML ... Expected elements 'contractNumber iccid msisdn' before the end of the content'  

The XML attribute value is not wellformed because the embedded ' character is not allowed. The bug is caused by the class "org.jboss.util.xml.DOMWriter.java". 
The character ' is not normalized in the methode: private String normalize(String s).


Solution: 
---------

The following code snippet has added in the case statement of the method normalize():

            case '\'':
            {
               str.append("&apos;");
               break;
            }
