special characs lead to error in XML(jdom) :(

Hi,
I am manipulating passwords with the java.security Package before saving them in XML. Unfortunately JDOM reports an error while I try to set the password in XML. The reason are the password�s special characters created by the java.security Package.

How can I force JDOM to store the password?
It would be great if someone has an idea

Robert.

You could apply Base64 encoding on the password before stuffing it into the XML document (and of course decode it when reading).

Well, finally I made it with a "byte to hex"-transformation.
However, thanky for your suggestion!

I agree. Here's the link: http://ej-technologies/jprofiler - if it wasn't for jprofiler, we would need to run our stuff on 16 servers instead of 3.
