Escaping double quotes and the Web

Question

I am trying to get the following sent in an xml.

<Request xmlns="http://abc.org/1.1/Listener.wsdl"&gt;&amp;lt;serverstatusinquiry xmlns="http://abc.org/messages"/&amp;gt;&lt;/Request&gt;

The problem I am facing is the text part of the Request node. I am printing the text as follows.

"<serverstatusinquiry xmlns=\"http://abc.org/messages\"/&gt;"

But I end up with:

<serverstatusinquiry xmlns="http://abc.org/messages"/>

I understand " stands for double quotes, is there a way I can force it to actually output " instead of "? Is there anything wrong with what I am doing?

Answer 1

Use < for < (Less than), > > for > (Greater than), and " for "

<Request xmlns="http://abc.org/1.1/Listener.wsdl"&gt;&amp;#60;serverstatusinquiry xmlns=&#34http://abc.org/messages&amp;#34/&amp;#62;&lt;/Request&gt;Quotation).
