Radu Preotiuc-Pietro commented on XMLBEANS-372:
-----------------------------------------------

Unfortunately, there is some serious confusion going on.

Paul, your problem has *nothing* to do with XMLBEANS-154 as an examination of the \
stack trace quickly shows. I don't know what your problem is because you don't give \
us enough information other than the fact that SAML is somehow involved.

Raez, from what you are saying, it sounds like your problem has nothing to do with \
Paul's also.

The other unfortunate thing is that the exception message from Piccolo doesn't make \
it clear that what is happening is that a '&' character is found in the XML without \
being part of an entity or reference, which is not well-formed XML. There are \
numerous reasons why such an invalid document could be given to XMLBeans to parse, \
but in Raez's case it looks like the code that is taking the user input and turning \
it into XML is not handling the case where the user is entering a '&' character \
verbatim. In that case, the code needs to escape it with &amp; before feeding the XML \
to XMLBeans: XML rule. (same thing with '<' which needs to be escaped with &lt; these \
things should be part of your testing)
