*****DSCRuntimeException: The reference to entity "G" must end with the ';' delimiter. ******

[priyankanagar]

I am getting a parse exception while trying to work with an XML. The
culprit data looks like this:

<description>MOT KIT V3I RAZR W/FAVES D&amp;G VSW</description>

But &amp; is valid in XML data right?

Look elsewhere in your XML data. It looks like there is an instance of
"D&G" where the '&' isn't encoded.

[Duane Nickull]

That appears to be dead one correct.  What the parser is (correctly doing) is assuming that where you use & followed by G, you are trying to make an entity reference and it is complaining because it thinks you carelessly forgot to add in your “;” after the G.

Checked the XML. '&' is encoded everywhere in the XML. So looks like
it is expecting a ';' after G but what if I dont intend to define
entity G at all? I just want this to be interpreted as D & G .

[Duane Nickull]

then you have to write it out as 'D &amp; G'. Anytime the XML stream
parser see a & character, it expects that you are making an entity
reference. & defines the beginning of the entity reference and ;
defines the end. IN your case, it looks like the error was thrown
because the XML had &, then a G but no closing ";" Apaches parsers
have a maximum number of characters they examine before an error is
thrown (if memory serves me correct it is 32). Since most entity
references are less than 5 characters, this should theoretically never
be an issue and the entity handler can safely assume a fatal parsing
error and flag it.

Do you want to send your XML or post it up so we can take a look?
