Show the XML data you are sending. Without that it is impossible to give better help than Solution 1 already does.

Solution 1

Refer - XML Specification[^]

Quote:
The ampersand character (&) and the left angle bracket (<) may appear in their literal form only when used as markup delimiters, or within a comment, a processing instruction, or a CDATA section. If they are needed elsewhere, they must be escaped using either numeric character references or the strings "&" and "<" respectively.
