[logback-user] Problems with 'logback.XML to Groovy' translator (website)

[Heinz Romirer | TAC GmbH]

Hey there,
just wanted to make a comment on the 'logback.XML to Groovy translator' webpage.

It seems that ampersands ("&") are not HTML escaped an therefore, if you have some
logical expression within your XML like this:
<expression>
        marker != null && marker.contains("SMTP_TRIGGER") 
</expression>

You will see the following error:
// XML parsing failure
// org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: The entity name must immediately follow the '&' in the entity reference.

So you have to escape the ampersands yourself ("&"), like this:
<expression>
        marker != null && marker.contains("SMTP_TRIGGER") 
</expression>

To make it work.

Just wanted to let you know ;)
