Hi, I just figured that XML is touchy about using entities in attribute
value even for super-simple XML files with no DTD:
<capability name="entity_euro" value="€"/>
Caused by: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: The entity "euro" was
referenced, but
not declared.
at
org.apache.xerces.parsers.AbstractSAXParser.parse(AbstractSAXParser.j
ava:1189)
at nu.xom.Builder.build(Builder.java:1127)
is there a standard way to escape entities in XML?
who said that XML was simple? it is horrendously gotcha-ridden....
Thanks
Luca
