ampersand in XSP

Hi,

I've started playing around with XSP pages and I'm having the following
problem:  When I try to get Cocoon to compile a page with an ampersand
("&") in the xsp:logic section it gets interpreted as an XML entity
reference or something like that.  For example
...
<xsp:logic>
 private static String getURL() {
   return "http://www.abc.com?user=foo&password=bar";
 }
...
</xsp:logic>
...
The problem occurs between the words "foo" and "pass" in the above
example.  Is there a way to fix this?

Here's the actual stack trace from Cocoon:

        The reference to entity "password" must end with the ';'
delimiter. [FATAL ERROR] [File:
"file:/usr/local/jakarta-tomcat/webapps/cocoon/samples/xsp/" Line: 25
Column: 60]

Solved: ampersand in XSP

Posted by Alex Muc <al...@utoronto.ca>.
The solution is to put the section of code in a CDATA section.
