SAX PARSER IS NOT PASRSING AFTER "&" SYMBOL

Question

my requirement is to parse xml data from the server side and display it in Blackberry, I am using SAX parser to perform this operation. I am using an example to explain the scenario.

<Name>ABC</Name> <Company>TCS</Company> <Name>DEF</Name> <Company>E&Y</Company>

In the above example, it is possible to read all the attribute except the "E&Y".

could you post your code? I'm not exactly sure how SAX works on Blackberry but I think I had a similar problem. — MatF, Aug 05 '11 at 08:32

Your xml is corrupted. Check for xml escaping.

Proper xml should look like:

<Company>E&amp;Y</Company>

Fix your xml and the parser becomes to work OK.

Sorry to say this, but then you are going to get not the actual answers.. Post the exact xml you get from the server on which your parser fails. Can you confirm it is properly escaped? – Vit Khudenko Aug 05 '11 at 13:41
@Arihmed: thanks for your reply, I have figured out, yes you where correct..the xml reply I am getting from the server is this E&Y.. so I replaced the & with & that solved my issue. – varunrao321 Aug 20 '11 at 04:56

Check this thread Blackberry UTF-8 Problem

One ansewr says:

Most likely your xml is in UTF-8 while you have response.getBytes(). String.getBytes() returns bytes for default OS encoding which is ISO-8859-1 on BB. So try to get UTF-8 bytes by calling response.getBytes("UTF-8").

Hope that helps

I guess the problem is the encoding

Search for "encoding='UTF-8' sax parser"
