Ampersands being replaced with semi colons

I have a data entry screen which allows the user to type in a company

name. If the user types in a name like A&A, the first println shows

A;A. The second println shows A&A again. Is this a feature? The

following code is under the update button for the page:

public void handleBtUpdateRequest(RequestContext requestContext)

throws ServletException, IOException

{

System.out.println("Web Event: "+getClass().getName()

+".BtUpdate");

Button field = getBtUpdate();

field.mapSourceTargetNVPs();

String strCompanyName = getCompanies_company().getValue

().toString().trim();

System.out.println("strCompanyName=" + strCompanyName);

/// WHY, WHY, WHY?

strCompanyName = Utils.replace(strCompanyName, ";", "&");

System.out.println("strCompanyName=" + strCompanyName);

Please look into this.

Thanks,

John Gertsch

John,

look in the kas.log file; if you don't have SP2 I would recommend moving to

it ASAP.
