Re: Entities serilization problem. Potential bug?!?

Hi Bogdan,

how are you doing the transcoding? If you use the roundtrip sample to
transcode the given valid XML string to WBXML, and the WBXML back to
XML, is the result different from the original string? Are you using the
latest version from CVS?

Best regards,
Stefan

BTW: Please note that ObjectWeb will close this list soon. Please 
subscribe to the new kxml mailinglist at http://sourceforge.net, project 
kxml.
