XML Parser fails to parse data elements with special characters

The XML Parser fails to handle the special character [ like Café ].

So the report generation fails. When the user runs a report this kind of errors are show stoppers.

We are using CDATA section for all text elements, still the parser couldn't handle this.

I appreciate if you can offer any idea on to handle this situations in future.

The problem is that this is illegal in your xml file. If you try to display it using Internet Explorer it will give you an error on the é.

I suggest you save the xml file using the utf-8 encoding. That can support a character such as é although it does it using 2 bytes.
