Problem reading ' from XML uisng SAX Parser

Question

Hi All,
I have a XML which contains the following element
<DataText>This is simple ' Text</DataText>I have included & apos ; in the element called DataText.
When parsing the element, am getting only the text that appears before & apos ;
When Not including & apos ; am able to get the full text from this element.
I observed that in the method characters(char buf[], int offset, int len)
Thelen attribute shows the total length from start position to the position where & apos ; starts...
How can i get the whole text which includes even " & apos ; "
Thanks
Note : while posting this request, & apos; is being formatted to ' . thats the reason included space between them

Answer 1

HI,
Was not doing much in the characters method, anyway here is the code
public void characters(char buf[], int offset, int len) throws SAXException{
    elementText  = new String(buf, offset, len).trim();
}The value for len is from the start position of the element value and the start position of the ' & apos; ' in the XML File...
If i remove the ' & apos; ' in the element value , then the len is the full character length in between the element.
Very confused why this is happening !!
Did anyone face this problem ever before ?
