entity reference is not terminated with semicolon

[Panagiotis Konstantinidis]

  Hello there, consider the following code fragment (WML and JSP):

<go method="post" href="<%=
response.encodeURL("/process?action=login&amp;fail="
        +
java.net.URLEncoder.encode(response.encodeURL("/WAP/login/retryloginwml.jsp"
))
        + "&amp;success=" +
java.net.URLEncoder.encode(response.encodeURL("/WAP/login/successwml.jsp")))
%>">
        <postfield name="userName" value="$loginUsername"/>
                <postfield name="password" value="$loginPassword"/>
</go>

  The result of the above code is to produce the following WML code:

<go method="post"
href="/process;jsessionid=rkemhywve1.ajp12?action=login&fail=%2FWAP%2Flogin%
2Fretryloginwml.jsp%3Bjsessionid%3Drkemhywve1.ajp12&success=%2FWAP%2Flogin%2
Fsuccesswml.jsp%3Bjsessionid%
                                3Drkemhywve1.ajp12">
        <postfield name="userName" value="$loginUsername"/>
        <postfield name="password" value="$loginPassword"/>
</go>

  When I am loading the file from a mobile phone I am getting the error
message "Entity reference is not terminated with semicolon" and it points on
the second "=" (after the "&fail"). My understanding is that it tries to
interpret the "&fail" as an
entity reference and it is looking to find the terminating ";". It cannot
find it and it throws the error message. When I am The only solution I can
think of is to maintain the "&amp;" on the generated WML file. HAs anybody
got any suggestions?

   Thank you.
