Re: Ampersand and db:results

I suspect this is a deeper running problem with creating strings. What is
the actual error message? If you are running the ObjectBox standalone, try
using/not using the -xsl flag to change the output handler.

The output method should either escape non-XML chars, or turn strings with
reserved chars into CDATA sections.

If possible i'll include a fix with the next ObjectBox release, which
i'm hoping to have ready sometime this week.
(version 0.9.6 will also include regular expressions, exception handling,
BSF support and a few other goodies!)

cheers,
