C# Web Service < comes out as & lt;

[hise]

Hi:

I'm working on a project that involves C# and Java webservices. When I get the response back from the C# service in java, the result has all the <, and >, replaced with & lt; and & gt;.

Does anyone know why this is happening?

Thanks a gagillion.

In XML, &lt and &gt are '<' and '>' respectively (lt = less than, gt = greater than).

Apparently, your Java app is reading the XML stream literally (E.G. without converting the character references). Why is this happening and how do you prevent it? That question may be better suited for the Java forum.
