Hi everybody:

I have a problem with a web service I am doing, I have made a web service that returns a collection of objects, the objects have a set of properties, there is one property that is a String, consist in a text fragment that could have some characters that are considered special in XML like &, <, >, ” and that’s why when I execute the service from a client an exception is thrown:

Exception in thread "main" org.codehaus.xfire.XFireRuntimeException: Could not invoke service.. Nested exception is org.codehaus.xfire.fault.XFireFault: Could not read XML stream.. Nested exception is com.ctc.wstx.exc.WstxParsingException: Expected a text token, got START_ELEMENT.
 at [row,col {unknown-source}]: [9,646]

I know that this is happening because special characters are sent by the soap message but I don’t know how to solve this problem.
How could I avoid this exception ?
I hope you can help me.
Regards.

Ariel,
This seems like an XFire issue and I would suggest you cross post this query on the XFire forums as well.

I have generated this web services with MyEclipse 6.0, are there bugs in the XFire libraries ???

Why could I solve this problem ??? Should I use another library instead of XFire ???

Regards
Ariel

XML Special characters should be xml-ified, with & for &, < for <, > for >, and " for “. This is explained in detail on this w3c page
