special characters in XML

Classic Servoy
1

HI!
I am creating an XML file. Is there a servoy utility that encodes special characters before I place them in my XML(e.g.D!@#$%^&*()_+) because when I read back the XML it causes an exception.

The entity name must immediately follow the '&' in the entity reference.

Thanks Martin,

I did try to use CDATA. However, I read that my CDATA cannot contain the string “]]>”.

And so I used javascript escape().

Anyone who knows any limitations of using escape() function?
