Message Broker XMLNSC parser: how to avoid quotes escaping?

When using XMLNSC parser of Message Broker it normally escapes double quotes in XML, like below:

<MyElement>Some "Text" inside</MyElement>

becomes

<MyElement>Some &quot;Text&quot; inside</MyElement>

One of the customers claims that such escaping is a real problem for them.

In the same time such escaping is not obligatory, as far as I can see in XML specification, so I tried to find a way to skip it, but out of luck.

Any idea about how it could be done? Or a workaround may be?

PS

We run version 10 (which is known as Integration Bus), but I remember that behaviour is the same for older versions (since 6th)

You are correct that escaping of quote characters within a tag value is optional. Message broker and IIB always escape a quote character, whether or not the escaping is required. The escaping does not change the data; any properly-written XML parser will decode the value and return the original string to the application. Your customer is either using a very badly-written application, or they have misunderstood the situation. If you really need to avoid the escaping, you can use the XMLNSC.AsIsElementContent field type. Do this at your own risk, though. And you should explain to your customer that this is a fault in their application, and not a defect in IIB.
