Description
Normally if you want to use < or > and other reserved charaters in xml
you need to use the 'special' replacements for it like < for < it whould be nice if xstream whould do this also. It seems this doesn't happen with a Map, i haven't tested it with other kind of objects.

yes you are correct.
after reading your comment i looked into the xml file to see if there was something wrong there. Then i saw a & before my <
i removed the & and the < was after that correctly showed.
Though i have no clue yet why the & got there and why the parser didn't throw an exception on the amp when running the app.
i don't have a junit test, but i'll try to reproduce what happend , and hopefully come back with a more usefull comment.

Hi Wiebren,
XStream should automatically replace such characters with the XML equivalent.
For example:
Map map = new HashMap();
map.put("hello <", "world >");
String xml = xstream.toXml(map);
This results in:
<map>
<entry>
<string>hello <</string>
<string>world ></string>
</entry>
</map>
(I've just run this and it behaves as you would expect).
Could you post some sample code that demonstrates the problem you are having, or better still a failing JUnit test.
Additionally, please make sure you are using the latest version of XStream (1.1.1).
thanks
