'&' gets replaced by '&' in XI response

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

we implemented a scenario in which we call XI via http to get a URL of a file in a contentserver.

However, the character '&' gets replaced by '&' in the response.

Do you know how to avoid this ?

Thanks, Rolf

This cannot be avoided.

If the RFC adapter would not escape the &, it won't be a valid xml structure and couldn't be processed with the XI.

Hi Stefan,

thanks for your help, so we need to 'unescape' it in our apps.

Hello rolf,

maybe you have solved the problem but i have an other question:

i am looking for the solution you have done in the URL: a dynamical URL. several threads in this forum i have posted but without the wished success.

either help.sap.com or blogs could not help me.... maybe you?

how was it possible, that you make the URL dynamical? Did you put the URL static in the HTTP Adapter?

many thanks
