Answer 1

There is one more may: escapeXml method of org.apache.commons.lang.StringEscapeUtils class.

Try this code in your characters(char[] ch, int start, int length) method:

String data=new String(ch, start, length);
String escapedData=org.apache.commons.lang.StringEscapeUtils.escapeXml(data);
