Error parsing XML: The reference to entity "documentId" must end with the ';' delimiter.

[James]

I am using UiBinder. I have an Anchor in the XML file and when I
assign a URL to the href attribute that contains the string
"documentId" I get the "Error parsing XML" error (something like
<g:Anchor href='http://www.somewhere.com/documentId'></g:Anchor>).
Compiling with debug output reveals that it is a SAXParseException
causing the problem. Here is a partial stack trace of the error:


org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: The reference to entity "documentId"
must end with the ';' delimiter.

Are you sure it's not href="http://www.somewhere.com/blah?
foo=bar&documentId=baz" ? '&' has to be written as &amp; in XML (as
well as in HTML FWIW)

You are right. I wish the error was a little more informative! :)
