I have a configuration section that needs to be replaced in a non-web.config file. To load the entry into the setparameters file, I have used the > and < escape characters. The replacement is occurring correctly; I see the correct environment
values being placed. However, the escape characters are being used as literals. I end up having an entry that looks like<MyElement><MySubElement1/></MyElement>in my configuration. I have seen them changed on web.config entries, but they are not being converted in another file. Will MSDeploy perform this conversion, or is that limited to web.config? Is it because the file has a different schema (it's a Coherence
cache-config file)? Am I missing a declaration on this file for part of the process?
