ora:parseEscapedXml function fails during conversion

The ora:parseEscapedXml functions fails to convert string which have & 'Ampersand' in them. It errors during conversion and the error in the BPEL Console is nowhere close to the issue. There has already a bug filed for this issue, bug# 5598150 and it appears to have been fixed in 11.1.1.0.0. I am running on 11.1.1.2.0 and I still face this issue !

On metalink, there is a workarouund provided for this issue. One needs to replace & with & amp; amp; (mentioned with spaces so that its not converted to & by html). This can be done using a XSLT replace all template or a java embedding node.

Refer to How to solve the Ora:Parseescapedxml error when you are using ampersand character [ID 418488.1] in metalink for the workaround using java.


Bug 5598150 - AMPERSAND ENTITY IS NOT HANDLED CORRECT
