Description

Axiom parser converts "&lt ;" to "<" if it is followed by empty node.This makes the xml content invalid.

XML Input:

    case 1: <A> test <B></B> < test1 </A>
    case 2: <A> test <B>ear</B> < test1 </A>

XML Output:

    case 1: <A> test <B/> < test1 </A> [Incorrect]
    case 2: <A> test <B>ear</B> < test1 </A> [Correct]
 

Axiom Code:

    InputStream ina = new FileInputStream(fileName);
    OMElement root = OMXMLBuilderFactory.createOMBuilder(ina).getDocumentElement();

Is there any way to handle this scenario ?
