preserving single quotes and other special chars (Xala

I have a requirement where i need to preserve  single quotes and other
special chars while doine setStyleSheetparam in Xalan-c++ 1.3

for example,
 
Xalantransformer.setStylesheetParam(key, "asdds'a"\@$$);

After the above operation, i should see the complete string (without any
character loss) to replace the key in the XSL sheet.

Right now, Eventhough i use disable-output-escaping=yes, i get an error
while i  have single quotes in the string.

Is there a workaround for this?

Thanks
Arun
