Special (Escape) Characters
The EAI XML Converter can handle special characters for inbound and outbound XML, as shown in Table 3. Non-Siebel XML should already handle special characters before integrating into the Siebel application. Special characters are indicated by enclosing the text for the character between an ampersand (&) and a semicolon (;). Also, if the XML is passed in a URL, then URL encoding of special characters is required as shown in Table 3.
