XML Parsing Error: undefined entity, Ajax-Response

[myfear]

Hi,

I have a quite simple problem. I am trying to update a selectbox using a4j:support.

<h:selectOneMenu id="test" value="#{test.somedata}"
 valueChangeListener="#{test.valueChanged}" immediate="true">
 <f:selectItems value="#{test.somedataItems}" />
 <a4j:support event="onchange"
 reRender="resultList,test" />
</h:selectOneMenu>

The SelectItems are db backed and contain UTF-8 Characters (e.g. é, does not display correct in the this post. ). The response contains the HTML Entities (

é

) and I get a parsing error from the JS engine in the browser.

error[10:37:31,169]: Error parsing XML
error[10:37:31,169]: Parse Error: XML Parsing Error: Reference to undefined entity 'eacute'.
Location: Line Number 0, Column 0:^

Any ideas what I could do to solve this?

Thanks in advance,
Markus

It seems you should try to use Neko or Tidy parser instead of none.
