This is crazy, but I have been working on this issue all day (on nothing
related to jackrabbit).
I had an error in which I am trying to transfer a String with a 0x19
character inside it using soap (xfire, axis). The character causes the xml
serialization/deserialization to bomb.
I posted my problem on the xfire list: I got this response. While it does
not solve your problem, I think it is related. I am trying to "clean" my
string data so that this does not occur.
<<
The w3 consortium's XML spec doesn't allow it, please take a look at the XML
specification:
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#charsets
As you can see 0x19 is not included in the 'Char' list and a XML parser
should not accept nor generate it.
A XML conformance test suite explicitly ensures that the low (i.e. <0x20)
characters are rejected by the parser under test.
e.g. for Xerces see:

Subject: Invalid XML characters in export
Recently I happened to create a String property containing chars
below #x20. The System View XML export then attempts to escape
such values (e.g. as � etc.). However, most chars in this
range are in fact not valid XML characters at all, so import fails
javax.jcr.InvalidSerializedDataException: failed to parse XML stream:
Character reference "�" is an invalid XML character.
Of course, binary data should be in a binary property, but
in the event some binary does somehow get into a String property,
it means the XML export appears to work, but is actually not usable.
Is there a way to deal with this issue? I wasn't able to find
much clarification on what the correct behavior should
be from the spec (String properties are supposed to
be like java.lang.Strings, but Sec 6.4.4 doesn't mention
ways to escape non-XML characters).
Regards,
Joshua
