Question

I use ampersand sign in the <query> value, so I encode it as & but getting

5/04/2012 10:07:03 AM <WARNING> XML configuration warning in file:.../etl.xml(26:169): The entity "AMP" was referenced, but not declared.

The solution could be to create own DTD and define entity there. But the issue is that I use DTD from scriptella:

<!DOCTYPE etl SYSTEM "http://scriptella.javaforge.com/dtd/etl.dtd">

Any solution other than download, add entity and host locally?

Answer 1

Try using & instead of &.

Alternatively, you should be able to add the declaration for amp to the internal subset:

<!DOCTYPE etl SYSTEM "http://scriptella.javaforge.com/dtd/etl.dtd" [
<!ENTITY amp "&#38;">
]>
