The character '<' cannot be used in an attribute

[Richard D Vodden]

I'm getting a really strange error when trying to generate a WSDL from a web services model. The error I'm getting is:

Code: [Select]

Error:
Code = 0xc00ce506
Source = Line : 1; Char : 111
Error Description = The character '<' cannot be used in an attribute value.

Does anyone know how to get from the Line and Character number to an element in the model?

Cheers,

Richard.

I'm not sure about this, but it looks like one of your attributes has a '<' char in it. Try an Extended Search for <

I dont know whether that less symbol should be escaped rather than raising a bug.

Another thought: Uncheck Format XML in Tools/Options/XML. I guess the error is raised here.

It looks to me as if EA isn't encoding a string before putting it into an XML attribute. Please send a bug report, and if you can locate the field that the '<' is in it would help locate the problem.
