#81 XMLA driver should encode colons in property names

[Julian Hyde]

XMLA driver should encode colons in property names.

See https://sourceforge.net/p/olap4j/discussion/577988/thread/6a690a3c/ and http://jira.pentaho.com/browse/PRD-3825

"::PENTAHO-REPORTING::PORT" is actually a valid XML element name, but SSAS doesn't think so, and they write the SSAS standard. So the olap4j XMLA driver should convert each colon to 'x003a'.

I meant 'underscore x003a underscore' above. Markdown screwed up my comment.

We should encode non-alphanumeric characters in properties.

Microsoft does not specify that is a valid property name, but their built-in properties are all UpperCamelCase; see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms186627.aspx.

I STRONGLY recommend that people adhere to that standard for property names. (Start with alpha, subsequent characters alphanumeric.) Even underscores will cause problems, because we will encode _ to 0x005f and that may confuse the server receiving the request.

This is probably not a problem anymore. We filter out the unknown properties.
