hi,
I think that you've got caracter "&" in some values.
It's a special caracter for Xml parser, and it expect the name of this pre-defined entity after that.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_XML_and_HTML_character_entity_references#Predefined_entities_in...
"&" must be "&" to be valid.
try a replace with regex :

// value is the String to parse
value.replaceAll("&","&")

hope it helps
