XML SQL - query the table with XML in column [urgent]

Question

I have table which have to be query-ied with
oracle.xml.sql.query.OracleXMLQuery class to produce XML
document for web.
Problem is that in one column is already XML data (well formed
HTML) like this:
<font face="Arial">click</font>
and when I call OracleXMLQuery.getXMLString() it encode all's '<'
as ';lt' and so on.
Can I turn off that kind of encoding some way or is it better
sollution for this?
thanks in advance

You can use an XSLT Stylesheet to achieve what you are wanting to do.
Say the name of the column containing
the markup is named "DOC", then
transforming the output of OracleXMLQuery
by the following stylesheet using
the oracle.xml.parser.v2.XSLProcessor...
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
<xsl utput method="xml" omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="@*|node()">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="DOC">
<xsl:value-of select="." disable-output-escaping="yes"/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Will give the results you are looking for.
You can use the XSQL Servlet to make this combination even easier if that is applicable to your situation.
