Question

Hi I have a JSP file where I load two tag libs:

taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core"

taglib prefix="x" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/xml"

I get an error:

org.apache.jasper.JasperException: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: An invalid XML character (Unicode: 0x1b) was found in the CDATA section.

The reason is this line:

var enabledLoginCharacters = /^[\w \. \- \! \" \§ \$ \% \& \/ \( \) \= \? \* \+ \# \< \> \, \; \: \@]*$/;

How can I rewrite this line so it will not cause a XML error?

Answer 1

The problem is likely with the SECTION SIGN § as it is the only one not in the ASCII subset.

The error is likely caused by the text editor using a different encoding to the one declared by the document.

You can:

• re-encode the document in the declared encoding
• change the encoding declaration to the name of the encoding used to edit it
• replace the literal § with the Unicode expression \u00A7
