Hi all,

thanks for your comments and suggestions. The error was not cause by the problem I describes.

FYI:

If there is an ampersand in the middle of a string, than the standard method

characters

in the handler is called three times!

This let me asume the ampersand was the error.

The

should not bother the mapping at all.

What exactly is the error message which is thrown by the mapping?

Hi Mario

special keywords in XML must be handelled by variable not directly as you have used

follow the link to W3school for this problem.

Plesae follow this link for an example of JAVA mapping using SAX parser

Make sure that the incoming message is in UTF-8 format. If not, you may place a dummy mapping before java mapping to convert the incoming message to UTF-8 encoding

As of my understanding, I dont think there wont be any settings/class to do that. Instead I suggest you to replace those strings to any other and in the final mapping you can very well replace the same to the original one. This will work.
