Special Chars in XML input

[#1]

Hi Guru's,

I am doing a FIle(XML) to Proxy scenario. Unfortunately the file sent by 3rd party system contains some special chars like "&".

Here is what I get into XI. <Program>FY08 Pilsner - National Media & Fees</Program>. When I manually change it to <Program><![CDATA[FY08 Pilsner - National Media & Fees]]></Program> it works.

After reading some of the forum threads I came to know that we can do this using JAVA mapping before doing the actual graphical mapping. I need to what exactly I should be doing in JAVA mapping and I need some sample JAVA mapping code if somebody has already implemented this solution.

Thanks.

Hi,

Change the encoding to ISO-8859-1 and then try.

Then try to change "&" with "&amp" in mapping.

Hi Rodrigo,

I tried RSKC tcode and save the "&" as permitted character. Mapping still failed.

Sarvesh,

I tried to replace & with &amp. It did not work either.

Here is the error message

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
