Symptoms

A Database Adapter used by a SOA composite invokes a stored procedure, providing an XML payload as the input parameter.

In the stored procedure, when extracting data from the XML payload, it is found that any entity references within the XML have been escaped.

eg. An "&" ampersand character in the XML will have been escaped to "&"

However the requirement is to have the characters stored in the database in their original un-escaped form.
