Why can't have & sign in the text?

Hi,

I use text as my field type, but whenever my field has '&' sign, the
post.jar will error out. What can I do to work around this? Thanks.

solr returned an error:
comctcwstxexcWstxLazyException_Unexpected_character___code_32_missing_name__

<fieldType name="mytext" class="solr.TextField" >

        <tokenizer class="solr.StandardTokenizerFactory"/>
        <filter class="solr.LowerCaseFilterFactory"/>
      </analyzer>
    </fieldType>

Please advise.

The files - that you are posting - must be valid xml. Escape special xml characters, e.g. replace & with &amp;
