             Summary: Global config XML double-decoded when stored in Zookeeper
                 Key: CONNECTORS-1603
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONNECTORS-1603
             Project: ManifoldCF
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Raman Gupta


When using Zookeeper to store the global config, it is impossible to have 
entities in the input XML. For example if we have a db password with value 
"foo&bar", then we have to encode this in the global config XML like this:

  <property name="org.apache.manifoldcf.dbsuperuserpassword" 
value="foo&amp;bar"/>

When writing the global config to Zookeeper, it appears like this XML file is 
parsed, but then written to ZooKeeper as:

  <property name="org.apache.manifoldcf.dbsuperuserpassword" value="foo&bar"/>

Now, when this global config is read from ZooKeeper, Manifold parses it as XML 
again, and of course fails with the error:

Caused by: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException; lineNumber: 31; columnNumber: 81; The 
reference to entity "bar" must end with the ';' delimiter.
