Special character in String [message #1770663] Tue, 15 August 2017 16:31 Go to next message

An attribute in my model allows for user to input special character such as '&'. However, when model is saved, ampersand is encoded into & How can I prevent the encoding?

Hi,

The encoding is necessary to ensure that your XML document is valid because the ampersand is reserved for XML entities. The & entity is one of a very few predefined entities that all XML processors are required to recognise.

What problem does this encoding present in your app?

HTH,
Christian
