I have a feeling that the issue is that you need to double-escape the & character in the query part of your template. More than likely the template is being parsed once, resolving & to & and then being parsed again -- and the parser would expect ; to end the entity definition. Which is what the error is saying.
Try this:
<template expr="http://maps.google.com/maps/geo?q={$address}&amp;output=xml" outputvariable="geoCodeAPI" />

Happy New Year mashers,
I'm looking forward to a mashing good new year in 2010!
First problem for the year then.
I'm trying to use the Google GeoCoding service through a directinvoke call, but am getting an error when running the mashup that tries to use a template to build a dynamic call to the webservice. Here's the error I'm getting:
XPST0003: XQuery syntax error in #...q={$address}&output=xml</root>#:
No closing ';' found for entity or character reference
Can anyone offer a suggestion on what's causing this error: Here's the emml snippet:
<template expr="http://maps.google.com/maps/geo?q={$address}&output=xml" outputvariable="geoCodeAPI" />
<directinvoke endpoint="$geoCodeAPI" outputvariable="geocode"
method="GET" responsecode="httpRC" responseheader="httpResponse" />
I've found another way to do the same thing using assign and an Xpath concat, but it's not as elegant as a template especially when that seems to be the whole purpose of the template markup. Perhaps it's not supposed to work :)
Cheers,
Innes
