Hi Shishir,
The XML spec says -
"The ampersand character (&) and the left angle
bracket (<) must not appear in their literal form,
except when used as markup delimiters, or within a
comment, a processing instruction, or a CDATA section.
If they are needed elsewhere, they MUST be escaped
using either numeric character references or the
strings "&" and "<" respectively."
So, you must specify them as & and < in your
XML.
Regards,
Mukul

Hi All,
I create a text node in an xml document which might
contain characters like
"&" and <(angle brackets) to say atleast.
Now when this is parsed by xslt parser it throws an
error saying
"could not parse input XML document
SAX Exception
Invalid character in reference"
what i did --
at the time of generation of node ,i look for "&"
and "angle brackets" in
data and replace these characters.
then it works fine.
but i really want to know is this the best method to
achieve this?
or we have any better practice?
I am using XML4J, as XML processor, and LotusXSL as
xslt parser.
Thanks & Regards
