Description

Serialization puts ampersands, etc. in attribute values, instead of entity references. This causes XML that is not well-formed to be returned to the client.

The result of this code

axiom_namespace_t * ns = axiom_namespace_create(env, "namespace", "ns");

axiom_node_t * node;
axiom_element_t * element = axiom_element_create(env, NULL, "el", ns, &node);

axiom_element_set_text(element, env, "T1 & T2", node);
axiom_element_add_attribute(element, env, axiom_attribute_create(env, "name", "A1 & A2", NULL), node);

axis2_char_t * xml = axiom_node_to_string(node, env);

AXIS2_LOG_DEBUG(env->log, AXIS2_LOG_SI, "XML is %s", xml);
AXIS2_FREE(env->allocator, xml);

is this:

XML is <ns:el xmlns:ns="namespace" name="A1 & A2">T1 & T2</ns:el>

Note that the & in the element body is correctly represented, but the & in the attribute value is not.
