Vincent Siveton commented on MNG-3242:
--------------------------------------

Could you provide us your pom? 

The following should work:

{noformat} 
<project>
...
  <properties>
    
<jdbc.url>jdbc:mysql://localhost/mydb?user=myuser&amp;password=mypass&amp;useUnicode=true&amp;characterEncoding=utf-8</jdbc.url>
OR
   
<jdbc.url><![CDATA[jdbc:mysql://localhost/mydb?user=myuser&amp;password=mypass&amp;useUnicode=true&amp;characterEncoding=utf-8]]></jdbc.url>
  </properties>
...
</project>
{noformat}

> I found no way to create a property with a not escaped ampersand (&-sign). 
> This is needed for a MySQL jdbc-connection String with some connection 
> variabled and should be filtered in a properties file during compile phase.
> It tried to escape it with &amp; This leeds to following error: Project build 
> error Cannot read project model from interpolating filter of serialized 
> version.
> It is no option to use a double escaping with &amp;amp;. Here I get a &amp; 
> in my connection url.
> I also tried to use a <[CDATA[ ... ]]> with the same problems. It's not 
> possible to use & sign. And if I use &amp; this escaped tag appears in my 
> properties file after filtering.
