It is _not_ a duplicate. He is having a concrete problem that is different from the one in the target thread. Perhaps he is giving the wrong data, but with the given data the question differs. — Bozho, Feb 14 '11 at 18:47

Have a look at the StringEscapeUtils class in the Apache Commons library. (Specifically the unescapeHtml method).

import org.apache.commons.lang.StringEscapeUtils;

public class Test {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String str = "&auml;s&aring;";
        System.out.println(StringEscapeUtils.unescapeHtml(str)); // prints äså
    }
}

is there any way to decode string?
