[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (JBAS-9529) CXF not correctly escaping >

[Kelly Attaway (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBAS-9529?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12752836#comment-12752836 ] 

Kelly Attaway commented on JBAS-9529:
-------------------------------------

Well, I see that the comments here also take the liberty of converting our escaped characters, which makes my previous explanation a little hard to understand. Let me try again.

In our response, we are seeing the character sequence "& gt ;" become a greater than sign, "& quot ;" become a double quote symbol, and "& apos ;" become an apostropher. "& lt ;" and "& amp ;" remain in their escaped formats. Please disregard the spaces in those escape sequences, they are only here to keep them from being converted in the comment.

> We have a string containing > (literally > not >) and we are trying to return it in a response but it is getting converted into >.  I would have thought if any escaping occurred it would have possibly converted it to > and then back to >
> We were using encoding of UTF-8.  We did notice that if we were using ISO-8859-1 this would occur so we aren't sure if somewhere within its processing it may be defaulting to ISO-8859-1 and then passing it back up.
