Issue with ParsingXMLstring function with special characters

Hi,

I am getting a parsexml error because my xml string is having some special characters for ex: in my case it is "&". Can we generate the xml response string as it is without encoding this character.

Scenario is:

We have defined xml as a string and we are updating the xml tag values with bind variables. At the end of sending the webservice response, we are actually converting the xmlstring to actual XML by using Parsexmlstring() function.

So in my case as the xml string is having & special character I couldn't able to send the response.

The reason we choose this design is, we do not want to use so much of xmldoc method code.
