XML Parse and UTF-8 Problem

[Nick Hoddinott]

Hi,

I'm using the org.w3c.dom.* libraries to process an xml file which has, for
example, an umlaut character in (ö). After using the parse() method of
Document, the umlaut code seems to get decoded (which is logical I suppose).
However, I need to get a document with the character codes left in their
encoded &...; form.

I've tried to do this many different ways, but each time I get either a
document with an umlaut or garbage characters. Is there a correct way to do
this? Apologies for my ignorance of the correct terminology for this stuff.

Thanks,

Nick H
