Hello there. I have a jsp file which I am trying to load. But everytime I try this I get the following error message: 500 Internal server error. javax.servlet.ServletException: Exception thrown running XT: Illegal XML character: . org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Illegal XML character: . This is really annoying because my .jsp file is well formed and all my jsp code is checked against errors. The weirdest thing is that it is doing it even if I take all the scriplet code and leave only HTML code in!! I have restarted my Web Server and the JSP engine several times but the problem persists. And an even weirdest thing is that I can load the file from the browser (from the File.. Open... etc option) and it works fine!!!! Any suggestions? Thanks in advance. _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com. =========================================================================== To unsubscribe: mailto [EMAIL PROTECTED] with body: "signoff JSP-INTEREST".
