Steven Hawkins commented on TEIID-2757:
---------------------------------------

> This should IMHO not be the case. I would expect enterprise reliability from an enterprise product.

I'm not sure this reflects on reliability.  This doesn't appear to be a common case given how it is not handled by odata4j/woodstox.  

> That said I would settle for a simple configuration option which enables the replacement of invalid characters by white spaces if they cannot be replaced by XML entities.

That would only be a last resort.  This could be seen as an issue for woodstox or odata4j.  From what I can see even the sun reference stax doesn't handle escaping the forbidden control characters, so this is a general problem for xml frameworks.  If workarounds such as using JSON, a binary type, or a view to perform the necessary cleansing aren't acceptable, then we'll want to get something logged further downstream and then determine if there's anything we want to do on our side.

> The odata framework sometimes has problems with transforming characters (reserved in XML) from the source data to the XML result. The result is an exception: TEIID16013 Error occured producing OData result.: java.lang.RuntimeException: com.ctc.wstx.exc.WstxIOException: Invalid white space character (0x1b) in text to output (in xml 1.1, could output as a character entity).
