[sreekanthreddy_badveli]

Hi Experts,

I am new to java udfs, can you please provide me the java code for following scenario.

I need to replace below special characters with specified string.

<  &lt;

>  &gt;

&  &amp;

'    &apos;

"   &quot;

example: input value: salary < 100

               output value: salary &lt; 100

Note: Please let me know if it is possible in graphical mapping.

Thanks in Advance,

Hi  guys

In the graphical mapping its cant work all test cases so now  again we are implemented through Java Code only.

Thanks

Hi,

You can achieve the same through XSLT mapping, since as far as I know, &lt, &gt are used in XSLT mapping. Please find the below link for the same:

example: input value: salary < 100
               output value: salary &lt; 100

It is not possible to do this in a UDF and it makes no sense to do it in mapping anyway.

If your payload contains a < charater, then you should solve the issue at sender side. Insist on valid XML.

Hi Sreekanthreddy,

Check Raghu Vamseedhar Reddy KadipiReddy blog

You only need to add  inputContent = inputContent.replaceAll("&", "&amp;");  with all the characters that you want to change.
