Send XML to webservice

I am send a XML String which is extract from XML file to a jax Web-services

My XML is

<GTSRequest command="version">
<Authorization account="jrl" user="" password="123456"/>
</GTSRequest>     

and Java Code is

   public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
            // TODO code application logic here
            String a = System.getProperty("user.dir") + "/XML/Get Current GTS Version.xml";
            System.out.println(convertXMLFileToString(a));
// call web service 
            System.out.println(gtsServiceRequest(convertXMLFileToString(a)));

        }

        public static String convertXMLFileToString(String fileName) throws FileNotFoundException, IOException {
         BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(fileName));
         String everything;
        try {
            StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
            String line = br.readLine();

            while (line != null) {
                sb.append(line);
                sb.append(System.lineSeparator());
                line = br.readLine();
            }
             everything = sb.toString();
        } finally {
            br.close();
        }
        return  everything;
        }

But when string goes to server the string is change in

<GTSRequest command="version">
<Authorization account="jrl" user="" password="123456"/>
</GTSRequest&gt
