Angle brackets in xml

[Naresh Arelli <na...@gmail.com>]

Hi All,

I am having a problem in using angle brackets ( '<'  '>' ) within an xml tag
value
while it is getting parsed by Xerces SAX2XMLReader.
I tried using &gt;, &lt; and CDATA.
But still we are getting error while parsing.

Could anybody please help on this?

Thanks & Regards

It would help immensely if you included a test file which is not parsed
correctly.  Ideally, you would attach it to your message, as attachments
are less likely to be reformatted by mail programs.

Do you mean you want to do something like:

<my&lt;tag   ...

?

If so I think you'll find that this is illegal.  See productions 4, 4a and 5
