Smooks mapping encoding & when bound to javabean

[bblasko]

We are using a Smooks transformation to map data from XML to a javabean.  In some of the XML date, we have &(encoded as &).

When the data is bound to the javabean attribute it ends up getting encoded as &.  I previously logged this with the Smooks team but was wondering if anyone has a work around other than to use the DOM parsing.

Example mapping and file

   <jb:bean beanId="Context" class="java.util.HashMap" createOnElement="Context">
    <jb:value data="/Request/Context/*" property="@name">
    </jb:value>
  </jb:bean>

<Request>
          <Context>
                    <District>0001 &quot; &lt; &gt; &apos; &amp; </District>
          </Context>
</Request>
