thanks!

No, i think you got me wrong.

The message content is a blob, nobody looks into it
and if you transport CDATA or gif images: The server
doesn't care.

The XmlScript class is used by the java client
library as a demo, if you use Java,C,C++,...
client side coding nobody looks into the content.

hi,

for a quick test of an application that i am working on, i used the demo found under

xmlBlaster/demo/javaclients/script/XmlScript.java

i tried to send this in the message payload:

<Sometag attribute="'single-quoted-value'"/>

what i received at the other end was:

<Sometag attribute=''single-quoted-value''/>

that means:
A. the message payload (or "contents", as you name it in the docs) just happens to be an XML string B. the value of one of my attributes in the payload contains single quotes, and therefore the attribute delimitation marks are double quotes C. either the demo java app, or the XmlBlaster server, decided to interpret my message payload and to replace the double quotes of my attribute delimiter with single quotes
D. result: the payload that i receive at the other end is not an XML
proper string anymore. (or at least expat, which is the xml parser 

that

crunches the message payload, cannot help me with this string.)

my understanding is that the payload of a message can be a blob, so it


only has to be passed over; it shouldnt be affected in any way by any kind of processing. now if this replacement of single quotes with double quotes takes place in the java demo, i wouldnt mind too much; but if the XmlBlaster server is the one that does this, i'm in big trouble...

can any of you tell me who is modifying my message? escaping the double quotes with &quot; doesnt help either... thanks. 


No, the server won't touch it (only if you add a mime plugin and do it
with purpose), try this:

java javaclients.HelloWorldPublish -content "<Sometag
attribute=\"'single-quoted-value'\"/>"

java javaclients.HelloWorldSubscribe -xpath //key


The XmlScript parser does it, we should add CDATA support to it so that
we are able to send:

<xmlBlaster>
   <connect/>
   <publish>
     <key oid="1">
     <content><![CDATA[<Sometag
attribute="'single-quoted-value'"/>]]</content>
   </publish>
   <disconnect />
</xmlBlaster>

I haven't tried it but i think it's the client side script parser which
