Error when importing 3.5.10 solution in 4.1.3

Classic Servoy
1

When trying to import a .servoy 3.5.10 file (with referenced modules) into the Servoy 4.1.3 application server, I get this error:

[error] org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: The reference to entity “D” must end with the ‘;’ delimiter.

Is there anything I need to know before I can import a 3.5.x solution into 4?

seems like the XML insider the .servoy is wrong. Have you tried to re-export that solution?

Hi Patrick,
Yes I did export the solution multiple times, but the error remains.

Hi Karel,

Still got a 3.5.9. version handy ? Try to export it with that so you can see if it’s an issue in 3.5.10 or something else.

Hope this helps.

Haven’t seen this error before, can you open a case with sample or attach a sample here ?

Problem is related to having special characters in group name (&,<,> …); this is usually handled at export but we missed the group name from security info. So, solution will export group R&D without properly display of “&” character causing import to fail . This export bug will be fixed in next release (for both 3.5 and 4.1 ) .
