& exists in XML payload

[Former Member]

Hey guys

i m having a strange problem in my scenario,specially with FCC,i have a HTTP to File scenario and some times i get '&' or '&' in the payload,now i can take care of & by changing the encoding to ISO-8859-1 but i still cant handle &.

i dont have any mappings in my scenario so i keep on getting errors in RWB saying that ; expected after &.

any idea how can i handle this?

thanx

Hi

& is not allowed between to XML tags. In a XML file the character & must be written like this: & amp; But no space between & and amp; I had to put in a space her, otherwise the HTML page would not display it.

Hi,

You can replace all & with & amp ; (without the spaces). Because according to xml standard it is not allowed to use this character. Here are replacements:

Thanx Chilla

but i figured it out that even ISO-8859-1 wont work with &,the XML becomes invalid if there are any & without ;

i came across a thread and it recommemded either to ask the sender to change all & to & or use a Java mapping.

thanx for ur help though
