RE: Parsing failures with '&'

[venu]

there may not be a short cut method as XML is already built,

but one can look for suspected tags (using StringTokenizer etc) and replace
"&" with "&amp".

Subject: Parsing failures with '&'


We have a situation where a client has the ampersand character in product
descriptions submitted to us in XML.  For a fictious example, assume
<description>M & M</description>.  The crimson parser fails with "Illegal
character or entity reference syntax".

Is there anyway around this problem short of writing a replacement script
before sending it to the parser?

Thanks in advance.

Scott
