Answer 1

Julio,
Are you sure that XML is correct?
No data allowed here: (hex) 6e, 74, 6f(:main:, row:1, col:3)
I also see Parse exceptions at different lines?
check the NOTE : 931765 @
https://websmp130.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/sapnotes/index2.htm?numm=931765
Check if the incoming XML has style informaton associated with it. Refer to following link for more info.
http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/
If the problem still persists, Restart J2EE Instance.
Regards,
Venkat.
