Encoding problems

[Fursten]

Hi,

My web service is been calling with a soap message. The response is a sopar message where it is attached the return of my web service function. I´m returning something like this: <Test></Teste>. The problem is that, in the response soap message the characters "<" and ">" are being send like this: "%lt;" and "&gt;". How can I change this?

Thank you

This is normal behavior. Since SOAP is XML based, and XML uses those characters to define elements, then they need to be escaped.

Take a look at the W3C specification:

http://w3c.org/TR/2004/REC-xml-20040204/#sec-predefined-ent

which lists all the predefined entities you may encounter.

Hi,

Thank you for your help, but I´m not understanding how can I solve my problem. The soap message my client receives can´t have does "%lt;" and "&gt;", because I´m loading that message to xml using the loadxml method of the MSXML2.DOMDocument object. With does characters xml will not load.

I try make this:

string = "&#60;Test>&#60;/Teste>". (change < for &#60;, but the problem persists).

Thank you
