[jdom-interest] Invalid XML character in CDATA

You need to include the encoding character set @ the top it sounds.

Try: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

BTW, I ran into the same problem and a special thanks to Elliotte's book "XML In A
Nutshell" quick reference from keeping me up late @ night.  A very good reference
book for that type of stuff.  Highly recommended.
