XML output problem

Question

Hi,
I'm having problems generating XML in managed bean.
If I put in a method within a managed bean something like:
public String getXML() {
return "<something>";
and then access the method getXML in a JSF page I get an output, where <> signs are replaced with > ....
How can I create an XML with a JSF, so I can use XSL transformations?

Answer 1

I have now a litte bit more complex task. For each value of FIELD2, there are 2 attributes in a separate table. Instead of displaying value of the FIELD2 in the XML, I'd rather need those 2 attributes. I am doing this:
with t as
select 'A' field1 , 1 field2 from dual
union
select 'A' field1 , 2 field2 from dual
union
select 'A' field1 , 3 field2 from dual
union
select 'B' field1 , 4 field2 from dual
a as
select 1 field2, 'a11' attr1, 'a12' attr2 from dual
union
select 2 field2, 'a21' attr1, 'a22' attr2 from dual
union
select 3 field2, 'a31' attr1, 'a32' attr2 from dual
select
xmlelement("TOP", xmlelement("FIELD1", field1),
                  xmlelement("DOWNS", XMLAGG(
                  xmlforest(a.attr1, a.attr2))
from t, a
where field1 = 'A'
and t.field2 = a.field2
group by field1which gives me the output:
<TOP>
     <FIELD1>A</FIELD1>
     <DOWNS>
          <ATTR1>a11</ATTR1>
          <ATTR2>a12</ATTR2>
          <ATTR1>a21</ATTR1>
          <ATTR2>a22</ATTR2>
          <ATTR1>a31</ATTR1>
          <ATTR2>a32</ATTR2>
     </DOWNS>
</TOP>This is very close to what I need, but how do I get this:
<TOP>
     <FIELD1>A</FIELD1>
     <DOWNS>
           <DOWN>
          <ATTR1>a11</ATTR1>
          <ATTR2>a12</ATTR2>
           </DOWN>
           <DOWN>
          <ATTR1>a21</ATTR1>
          <ATTR2>a22</ATTR2>
           </DOWN>
           <DOWN>
          <ATTR1>a31</ATTR1>
          <ATTR2>a32</ATTR2>
           <DOWN>
     </DOWNS>
</TOP>?
Thanks for any help.
