resin的配置文件类似xml，语法规范也遵循xml的写法，今天遇到了特殊字符的问题，数据库密码包含了特殊字符。
<init-param driver-name=”oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver”/>
  <init-param url=”jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:Test”/>
  <init-param user=”username”/>
  <init-param password=”123&(45aq”/>
…
</resource-ref>

其原因并不是“（”引起的，罪魁祸首是“&”

解决办法是使用&amp;替换&
如：
  <init-param password=”123&amp;(45aq”/>

xml文件中其他的几个特殊字符做同样处理即可：
    * &amp; = & (ampersand)
    * &lt; = < (left angle bracket, less-than sign)
    * &gt; = > (right angle bracket, greater-than sign)
    * &quot; = ” (quotation mark)
    * &apos; = ‘ (apostrophe)
