XML configuration file

The xmlsimp.xml configuration file, which specifies character restrictions for item types in a type tree, is also located in the Design Studio installation directory and must not be moved. This file can be encoded using any encoding scheme supported by the IBM alphaWorks XML4J 3.2.1. (For a full list of supported encodings, consult XML4J documentation.)

The default content of the xmlsimp.xml configuration file specifies the five entity references supported by XML (apostrophe, quotation mark, greater-than, less-than, ampersand) as Exclude characters, as shown:

<!-- The default character restrictions -->
  <character_restrictions name="default_cs">
