Currently, I using StaxEventItemWriter from SpringBatch 4.2.4 to writing the object to an XML file, In a normal case it working well but in the special case that a string includes the ampersand ('&') character then I got an IndexOutOfBoundsException.
My string is "Bessat J-D & Graf J-M"
Marshaler: org.springframework.oxm.jaxb.Jaxb2Marshaller (from spring-oxm-5.2.7)
JDK: 11
Here is a log
java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException: start 12, end 9, length 21
