Greetings,

When we submitted a Proposal to Grants.gov through S2S, we ran into a S2S submission error. This happened in both KC 5.2.1 and 6.x. Attached are three screen shots of a testing Proposal from KC 6.x.

The error message is The character sequence "]]>" must not appear in content unless used to mark the end of a CDATA section.

The reason of the error is that we have some special characters in Project Title. The special characters includes & < > ‘ and ”, that is, they are XML entities.

In the XML being submitted to S2S, the title was marked up as CDATA, which is prefect good in the team of XML. We don’t understand why this is happening, and how it can be fixed. Please shed a light on us.

<rr:ProjectTitle><![CDATA[test cdata <>&'"test cdata <>&'"

test cdata <>&'" test cdata <>&'"

]]></rr:ProjectTitle>

Thanks,

Bin
