>             Project: ManifoldCF
>          Issue Type: Bug
>            Reporter: Raman Gupta
>            Priority: Major
>
> 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&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.
