CDATA and Special Characters

Consider the following points regarding rowset-based messages:

  • You cannot use CDATA in message XML if you plan to use GetRowSet to parse the message.

  • When using the ampersand character (&) in a string, it must be URL-encoded. For example: &amp. Passing only the ampersand character results in a PeopleCode error when you get the rowset values.

  • Other special characters are best passed encoded as well, such as &gt for “<” and &lt ">."
