#1 More robust XML handling

[Jørn A Hansen]

If you enter a Project name like "M&T task" then exit
TimeTracker and restart TimeTracker with the same data
file the application can not load the data file again.

Another case is if any of the strings contain a " char
like: "Updated the "foobar" file"

The third case is handling international characters
like the german umlaut 'ü' or danish "æøå"

A partial (or maybe complete?) solution to all of this
might be adding a valid xml header like <?xml
version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?> to the data
file as suggested by someone in the forum.

Apart from that - a nice little tool... in particular
I like the reporting part :-)

A data.xml file containing invalid data

Oops!

I just took a quick look at:
timetrack/timetrack/src/net/sourceforge/timetrack/Entry.java
in CVS.

It looks like the XML writer is hardcoded at the moment. I
was assuming it used features in Xalan/Xerces/Relaxer for
reading/writing. So I understand there is more to it than
just a couple of XML grammar adjustments. Never the less I
would still like to see better handling of special
characters...

Hi,

I'm lose to getting it into version 1.2. But this will imply
a format change in the data.xml. I will have to include a
runtime converter and make a mechanism to mark what version
of the xml the application is using. It should make it
pretty soon.

It is now fixed. It should be rolled in the next release.
Could you add a valid "big" data.xml file so I can test.
Please indicate which encoding you use (iso-XXX) so I can
test on big and different knig of files.
