[SourceJammer-users] Error INVALID_CHARACTER_ERR: An invalid or illegal XML character is specified

[Gavin G. <gav...@gm...>]

Hi

I am a first time user. I have quickly scanned the manuals, FAQ and mail=20
lists.

The symptom of the problem I have is
Error INVALID_CHARACTER_ERR: An invalid or illegal XML character is=20
specified
=20
I have downloaded and installed (on Windows PCs running XP pro):

   - sourcejammer-client-2.1.2.0.beta.1.gpl.zip (client PC, incidently=20
   with JDK 1.5)
    - sourcejammer-server-2.1.0.0.gpl.zip (server on a server PC)
    - j2sdk-1_4_2_04-windows-i586-p.exe=20
   - jakarta-tomcat-5.0.28.exe
   =20
I used the client to "Add File(s)" to the archive. In this case I used a=20
complete eclipse project for testing purposes (Note - I am not using the=20
eclipse sourcejammer plugin). All the files seem to be added successfully=
=20
(ie I got "# Added project: .metadata" "# Added file: .lock" (which is in=
=20
the .metadata dir), etc). Then, on the client, when I click for example on=
=20
".metadata" in the Projects dir tree, I get the above error. No archived=20
files are displayed for ".metadata" in the Files table display. However,=20
under "src" there are the ".java" files archived correctly.

Does any of the files or directories contain an ampersand '&' or a =
non-ASCII char, like for example '=F6'?

Yes, SJ can manage binary files.
Sorry, I should have specified that those characters can provoke =
problems if they are in the file/folder name. Inside a file, binary =
chars may generate errors only if the file has been uploaded as text, =
not as binary.
So, any file with some suspectful character in its name?

Albert.

  Some depth into .metadata (ie =
.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.core.resources\.projects\GtgDiff01) there =
is a file .markers which is binary, and thus contains numerous strange =
characters. Is SourceJammer unable to manage such files?

That's it, I'am afraid. The '$' (at least, in folder names) are not =
supported by default.
I don't know if there's a work around for that, by configuring =
something, or they cannot be used. Hopefully, Rob or any other user will =
be able to help you better with it. Can't you live without those dollar =
signs?
Btw, won't it be easier for you to develop if the .class files are not =
in SJ? Its an annoyance to keep on checking them in & out, as what is =
important is the source code (you'll get the same .class if you compile =
the code).And if you want to keep release versioning, it's more usual to =
just keep the jar files. This is just a suggestion, although independent =
of the software you use as versioning tool.
Cheers,
Albert.

  No Sweat.

  The only unusual ones are '$' , multiple '.'s (even in dir names) and =
long names: examples:


  org.eclipse.jdt.launching.localJavaApplication.SHARED_INFO.launch in =
C:\1Eclipse\GtgDiff\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.debug.core\.launches

  org.eclipse.jdt.launching.prefs in =
C:\1Eclipse\GtgDiff\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.core.runtime\.settings=


  state.dat in =
C:\1Eclipse\GtgDiff\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.core.resources\.projec=
ts\GtgDiff01\org.eclipse.jdt.core

  DirectoryCompareDialog$1.class in =
C:\1Eclipse\GtgDiff\GtgDiff01\classes\diffgui (note not under .metadata, =
and "works" in the client)

  1077868989.index in =
C:\1Eclipse\GtgDiff\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.jdt.core


  A thought - is the problem not in the .xml files? Or does the "." in =
the .metadata dir cause a problem?

  Another thought - one possible way to trouble shoot this could be if =
you could position an archive (sourcejammer-server-2.1.0.0) on the =
internet and iI could add my files this evening (+10 hours) using my =
client (sourcejammer-client-2.1.2.0.beta.1)?

Hi, Gavin.

You might want to try the 2.1.1.0 beta client. The $ problem should be fixed in that release.

This client is only available through the SourceJammer SF project page right now.
