During Your visit here we talked about that problem with escaped characters. We couldn’t reproduce it then.

Now when investigating the problem in our side I’m not sure anymore where the problem is.

Test data:

<&quot;&amp;&gt;&lt;foo>;'

With original Tigase’s XMLUtils results to:

<"&amp;><foo>;'

in receiving end.

But when I alter XMLUtils unescape method to:

    private static final String[] decoded = { "&", "<", ">", "\"", "\'" };
    private static final String[] encoded = {
            "&amp;", "&lt;", "&gt;", "&quot;", "&apos;"
        };
    private static final String[] decodedWOAmp = { "<", ">", "\"", "\'" };
    private static final String[] encodedWOAmp = {
            "&lt;", "&gt;", "&quot;", "&apos;"
        };
 
    public static String unescape(String input) {
        String[] encodedAmp = {"&amp;"};
        String[] decodedAmp = {"&"};
        input = translateAll(input, encodedWOAmp, decodedWOAmp);
        return translateAll(input, encodedAmp, decodedAmp);
    }

Receiving end gets payload:

<&quot;&amp;&gt;&lt;foo>;'

See the difference in payloads? Can you reproduce this with tigase or is this problem in omb even though we can fix it changing XMLUtils code?

Also do You have any developer guide for that cache in Tigase you were talking during visit? That we could use instead of memcached? We would like to investigate that if we could use it.
