XML character issue when parsing mapping.xml

[gavin yin]

Hi,

I followed the format defined in ClassMapping.java comments. The mapping should defined as follows:
 * <class name="com.xxx.Abc" xmlPath="<http:://com.xxx.ns#system><http://com.xxx.ns#config>"
 *                           xmlContainer=""
 *                           xmlNamespace="<http://com.xxx.ns>" xmlTag="abc"
 *                           keys="attr1,attr2"
 *                           parentClass="com.xxx.AAA" />
 *   <attribute name="attr1" ... />
 *   <attribute name="attr2" ... />
 *   <attribute name="description" ... />
 * </class>

In Path.java and PathSegment.java, you also tried to parse the string following the pattern defined above, that is <> for path, and # for namespace
However, eith "<" nor "#" is a valid character in XML definiation.

Even after I replaced the charcters with some XML characters, this still does not work.

Here is how I use this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<netconfDataModel>
 
   <class name="com.ibm.pcl.netconf.model.NCSystem" xmlPath="&lt;urn:brocade.com:mgmt:brocade-ra#system&gt;" xmlContainer="" xmlTag="urn:brocade.com:mgmt:brocade-rasXXXsystem" xmlNamespace="urn:brocade.com:mgmt:brocade-ras" keys=""/>
  
    <class name="com.ibm.pcl.netconf.model.SwitchAttributes" xmlPath="&lt;urn:brocade.com:mgmt:brocade-ra#system&gt;&lt;urn:brocade.com:mgmt:brocade-ra#switch-attributes&gt;" xmlContainer="" xmlTag="switch-attributes" xmlNamespace="urn:brocade.com:mgmt:brocade-ras" keys="" parentClass="com.ibm.pcl.netconf.model.NCSystem">
        <attribute name="hostName" xmlContainer="" xmlTag="host-name" xmlNamespace="urn:brocade.com:mgmt:brocade-ras" readOnly="true" mandatory="false" many="false" />
        <attribute name="chassisName" xmlContainer="" xmlTag="chassis-name" xmlNamespace="urn:brocade.com:mgmt:brocade-ras" readOnly="true" mandatory="false" many="false" />
      </class>
 
</netconfDataModel>


Here is the error I got:
org.jdom.IllegalNameException: The name "<urn:brocade.com:mgmt:brocade-ra#system><urn:brocade.com:mgmt:brocade-ra#switch-attributes>" is not legal for JDOM/XML elements: XML names cannot begin with the character "<".
