Special Character in Web Service using OAS and Weblogic

Question

In the project, we are using OAS be the app server, all the "<" in the context of xml in web service are converted to "&lt;" automatically.
However, when we deploy it to weblogic, the "<" was converted to "&<;&"
Then another app try to unmarshalling it, but the app cannot handle the < the throw the exception. Do you know why the how to change it back to "&lt;"?
OAS version:10.1.3.2.0
Weblogic version:11gR1
Spring Version:2.5
OAS XML
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<soapenv:Body>
<makeHTMLStrForAwardServiceResponse xmlns="http://com.makeHTMLStrForAward/types/">
<htmlStr>&lt;html>&lt;head>&lt;style type="text/css">
&lt;/html>
</htmlStr>
</makeHTMLStrForAwardServiceResponse>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
Weblogic XML
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<soapenv:Body>
<makeHTMLStrForAwardServiceResponse xmlns="http://com.makeHTMLStrForAward/types/">
<htmlStr>&<;&html>;&<;&head>;&<;&style type="text/css">
;&<;&/html>;</htmlStr>
</makeHTMLStrForAwardServiceResponse>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

Answer 1

Ha Ha,
I found that one of the Spring WS lib we were using is 1.5.4.
It seems OAS ship with WS lib and the app use the OAS lib.
But weblogic did not have WS lib, then app need to use it's own lib. Then problem occur.
After change to version 1.5.8, the problem solved.
