[jira] Commented: (XMLBEANS-372) XMLBean locale exception is thrown
when element containing '&' is used
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XMLBEANS-372?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12651227#action_12651227 ]
Radu Preotiuc-Pietro commented on XMLBEANS-372:
-----------------------------------------------
Unfortunately, there is some serious confusion going on.
Paul, your problem has *nothing* to do with XMLBEANS-154 as an examination of the stack trace quickly shows. I don't know what your problem is because you don't give us enough information other than the fact that SAML is somehow involved.
Raez, from what you are saying, it sounds like your problem has nothing to do with Paul's also.
The other unfortunate thing is that the exception message from Piccolo doesn't make it clear that what is happening is that a '&' character is found in the XML without being part of an entity or reference, which is not well-formed XML. There are numerous reasons why such an invalid document could be given to XMLBeans to parse, but in Raez's case it looks like the code that is taking the user input and turning it into XML is not handling the case where the user is entering a '&' character verbatim. In that case, the code needs to escape it with & before feeding the XML to XMLBeans: XML rule. (same thing with '<' which needs to be escaped with < these things should be part of your testing)
