Oh well, go ahead and try it [escaping the ampersand].
My results:
------------------------------------------escaped-test.jsp
<html>
<head><title>test</title></head>
<body>
<servlet name="DateServlet">
<param name="somehtml" value="\ ">
</servlet>
</body>
</html>
------------------------------------------escaped-test.jsp
Crash.
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Missing '=' in attribute key/value
pair
(This one was the original file)

No crash. (But not ok, since I want my ampersand)

Conclusion: Escaping the ampersand doesnt work.
Any ideas?
