XML in the JDBC response not in pretty print format

Hi,

I am trying to fetch an xml from the DB using a JDBC request. when the response shows up, it is replacing the '<' with '&lt;' and '>' with &gt;'

As a result of this, all the assertions that i had put in the JDBC request are failing. Is there a way to pretty print the xml in the jdbc response? I searched every where including the preferences but nothing is helping so far.

Please help.

Thanks and Regards,
