Problem:
---------

The following soap message should parsed by JBossWS/JBoss 4.04GA

<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<soap:Body>
<oms:ExecuteResponse xmlns:oms="http://omsoe.crm.tmobile.net/services/oms">
<data>
<ReturnValue code="NOT_VALID" validationErrors="invalid XML <xml-fragment xmlns:ins="http://omsoe.crm.tmobile.net/datatypes/ccoscks/installakz&quot; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance&quot; xmlns:oms="http://omsoe.crm.tmobile.net/services/oms&quot; xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/&quot;/>: Expected elements 'contractNumber iccid msisdn' before the end of the content in element contractIdentificator " />
</data>
</oms:ExecuteResponse>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

The following exception "caused by: java.io.IOException: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Element type "ReturnValue" must be followed by either attribute specifications, ">" or "/>"." is thrown by JBoss.

Analysis:
---------
The problem is caused by the XML attribute expression:

validationErrors="invalid XML ... Expected elements 'contractNumber iccid msisdn' before the end of the content..."

JBoss performs the following steps:

(1) Converting the soap xml snippet(see above) from XML in a DOM document
(2) Converting DOM document in the xml snippet with the following result:

validationErrors='invalid XML ... Expected elements 'contractNumber iccid msisdn' before the end of the content'

The XML attribute value is not wellformed because the embedded ' character is not allowed. The bug is caused by the class "org.jboss.util.xml.DOMWriter.java".
The character ' is not normalized in the methode: private String normalize(String s).

Solution:
---------

The following code snippet has added in the case statement of the method normalize():

case '\'':

{ str.append("'"); break; }
