XML_parse fails with message "undefined entity" for few currencies: € ¥ £
As a workaround we are replacing them with corresponding html number.

tmp_xmlstring.replace_str("€","€");
tmp_xmlstring.replace_str("¥","¥");
tmp_xmlstring.replace_str("£","£");

Is there any known issue with XML_parse? if so could you provide the patched version?

Thanks

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_XML_and_HTML_character_entity_references#Predefined_entities_in_XML

The parser's error message is correct - you will need to define these entities before referencing them in your document, or you use character references.
