How to handle &in fop

Hi everybody,

When the data contains '&' like CUSTOMER_NAME= "L&G ASSURANCE SOCIETY
LTD " fop is throwing the following error:

Caused By : javax.xml.transform.TransformerException :
org.xml.sax.SAXParseExcep

tion: The reference to entity "G" must end with the ';' delimiter.

 

Can anybody help in handling the character '&'.

 

With regards

Bhaskar

Use &amp; instead.

To ensure that you always generate proper XML regardless of character 
set, you should change all characters above 127, and <, > and & to 
"&#numericvalue;" instead. The numeric value is the unicode value of the 
character.
