Unable to parse the given xml by unmarshalling it

Question

Hi,
I have to fetch the data from xml to java object. I am using castor parsing. i have written mapping xml which is mapped against the xml from which data is to be fetched. The entire application is working fine.
The problem is if i have data like
<CampaignName>&<</CampaignName>
then the unmarshalling is gettig failed and dispalying error message as
"The entity name must immediately follow the '&' in the entity reference"
Actually the xml is valid against validation and is allowing to use &< combination as data. But it is requirement to use the same data.
Please help me to resolve this problem.
