When attempting to specify a registered trademark symbol in the
Information Delivery Portal's banner name, the following error may
occur:

   ContextConfig[/Portal] Parse error in application web.xml
   org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Reference to undefined entity "®".

or

   Module: 'Portal']: Deployment descriptor "web.xml" is malformed.
   Check against the DTD: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException:
   The entity "reg" was referenced, but not declared.
   (line 237,column 38).

The above errors will occur when the registered trademark symbol is
specified as "®" in the \portal\web-inf\web.xml file:

For example:

   <init-param>
   <param-name>name-in-banner</param-name>
   <param-value>This is a test&reg;</param-value>
   <init-param>

The error occurs because "&reg;" is valid in HTML but not XML.  The XML
parser can not handle this coding.

To circumvent the problem, use "&#xAE;" instead of "&reg".  "&#xAE;"is
the Unicode code point for the &reg; symbol.

For example:

   <init-param>
   <param-name>name-in-banner</param-name>
   <param-value>This is a test&#xAE;</param-value>
   <init-param>
