When testing through the PromoStandards Web Service Validator, SoapUI, Wizdler, or any other SOAP tools, your SOAP request may fail if the username or password includes characters that must be XML-encoded.

Fix

In your SOAP request, XML-encode any special characters in the username and password values.

Common XML encodings

  • & (ampersand, U+0026) → &
  • < (less-than sign, U+003C) → &lt;
  • > (greater-than sign, U+003E) → &gt;
  • " (quotation mark, U+0022) → &quot;
  • ' (apostrophe, U+0027) → &apos;
