Hi,
if you have entities filled up with (e.g.) German umlauts, you won't be able to
import them via Webtools. The characters are writtend directly to the XML file
and the parser can't read them while import. In order to import the files you
would have to change all umlauts to their corresponding XML entities (e.g. Ä
--> ä). Files with XML entites can be imported w/o any problems and the
data can be stored and represented correctly.
The attached patch fixes the issue. The patch replaces each char with an value
bigger than 0x7F with &#NNN; - this means that there will just the ASCII chars
will appear in the XML exports. CDATA doesn't need to be exported this way.
Their content will be "untouched". All changes to characters will be logged to
the INFO-facility - this could perhaps be switched to the DEBUG-facility. Only
org.ofbiz.entity.GenericEntity was changed, no other files were modified for
this patch.
Please note that I justed tested this case with German umlauts. Please check
the behavior with other special characters, too.
HTH and go for the release. :-)
