Characters '<' and '&' in importXMLFromBuffer()

  • 1.  Characters '<' and '&' in importXMLFromBuffer()

    Posted 05/14/04 01:39 PM

    Hallo,

    the method com.birdstep.bdbe.xml.BdXMLDB.importXMLFromBuffer() fails if the XML buffer contains the characters ‘<’ and ‘&’ in a text node. I think, this is a normal behaviour because in a text node these characters must be escaped by ‘<’ and ‘&’ for the XML parser.

    Please tell me, if I am right or wrong concerning this method! If I am wrong (which I do not believe) this should be handled as a bug.

    Regards,
    Pascal Sch

    Yes it is a normal behavior. Any XML parser must fail on this because it is not well-formed XML.

    You should always use logic for escaping “<” → “<” , “>” → “>” and “&” → “&” .
