encodes a value for safe use in XML 
String newValue = value.toString();
final String[] reps = new String[] { "&", "&amp;", "<", "&lt;", ">", "&gt;", "\"", "&quot;", "'",
        "&apos;" };
for (int i = 0; i < reps.length; i += 2)
    newValue = newValue.replace(reps[i], reps[i + 1]);
return newValue;
StringxmlEncode(String in)
xml Encode 
StringBuffer out = new StringBuffer();
for (int i = 0; i < in.length(); i++) {
    char c = in.charAt(i);
    if (c == '<') {
        out.append("&gt;");
    } else if (c == '>') {
        out.append("&lt;");
    } else if (c == '&') {

StringXMLEncode(String name)

This is a helper method which converts any spaces in a string to a legal underscore. 

StringBuilder buffer = new StringBuilder(name.length());
for (int i = 0; i < name.length(); i++) {
    char c = name.charAt(i);
    if (c == '_') {
        buffer.append("__");
    } else if (c == ' ') {
        buffer.append("_");
    } else {
...
StringxmlEncode(String s)
XML encode a string. 
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
for (int i = 0; i < s.length(); ++i) {
    char c = s.charAt(i);
    switch (c) {
    case '&':
        sb.append("&amp;");
        break;
    case '<':
...
StringxmlEncode(String s)

StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder();
for (int i = 0; i < s.length(); i++) {
    char c = s.charAt(i);
    if (c == '<' || c == '>' || c == '&') {
        builder.append("&#" + (int) c + ";");
    } else {
        builder.append(c);
return builder.toString();
StringxmlEncode(String s)
xml Encode 
boolean changed = false;
char c;
StringBuffer sb = null;
for (int i = 0; i < s.length(); i++) {

            if (i > 0)
...
StringxmlEncode(String s)
xml Encode 
if (s == null)
    return null;
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(s.length() + 16);
for (int i = 0, n = s.length(); i < n; i++) {
    char c = s.charAt(i);
