Can I force JAXB not to convert " into ", for example, when marshalling to XML?

Question

I have an Object that is being marshalled to XML using JAXB. One element contains a String that includes quotes (\"). The resulting XML has " where t

After trying all the above solutions, finally came to the conclusion.

your marshaling logic through the custom escape handler.

final StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
    final Class classType = fixml.getClass();
    final JAXBContext jaxbContext = JAXBContext.newInstance(classType);
    final Marshaller marshaller = jaxbContext.createMarshaller();
    final JAXBElement fixmsg = new JAXBElement(new QName(namespaceURI, localPart), classType, fixml);
    marshaller.setProperty(Marshaller.JAXB_FORMATTED_OUTPUT, true);
    marshaller.setProperty(CharacterEscapeHandler.class.getName(), new JaxbCharacterEscapeHandler());
    marshaller.marshal(fixmsg, sw);
    return sw.toString();

And the custom escape handler is as follow:

import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.Writer;

public class JaxbCharacterEscapeHandler implements CharacterEscapeHandler {

    public void escape(char[] buf, int start, int len, boolean isAttValue,
                    Writer out) throws IOException {

            for (int i = start; i < start + len; i++) {
                    char ch = buf[i];
                    out.write(ch);
            }
    }
}
