In parsing some XML documents, I'm getting the following SAXParseException
error when parsing my XML document.
"Expected entity name for reference"

After some research I tracked it down to the following tags.
    <cust_name>CABLE & WIRELESS</cust_name>
My trace showed:
   startElement (cust_name)
   characters (CABLE , 6)
The exception is thrown by Xercesc before control is returned on the next
call.
My question is: is the "&" a special char in XML ?  If so, where can I find
a list of special chars in XML? And how do I escape them so that they are
allowed in an XML document.
Yes, "&" is a special character (as well as "<" and ">"); it needs to be 
escaped using the string "&amp;"
