---------------------------------------

Ok this looks like an issue with the Castor Unmarshaller:

>          URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XERCESJ-1005
>      Project: Xerces2-J
>         Type: Bug
>     Versions: 2.6.2
>     Reporter: Sumit Arora
>     Priority: Minor

>
> White space on either side of the ampersand symbol (&) disappears during 
> parsing xml. e.g. the xml
> <abc>a and b &amp; c</abc>
> generates the element:
> a and b&c
> instead of:
> a and b & c
> A similar problem existed with parsing of double quotes (&quot;) in version 
> 2.3 but seems to have been fixed in later versions.
> I am seeing this behavior while using Castor (which uses xerses API 
> internally). So I am not sure which component of Xerces API causes this 
> behavior. More specifically, I see this behavior in the 
> unmarshal(java.io.Reader) method of the org.exolab.castor.xml.Unmarshaller 
> class.
