Error parsing envelope: (1, 1) Start of root element expected.

Hello BI Publisher:
The issue has been resolved. I found the cause the problem. The following line in my WSDL was preventing BI Publisher from reading the WSDL, which will return the "Error parsing envelope" message:
<xsd:attribute name="dateTimeTagFormat" fixed="xsd" use="required"/>
Once I removed the above line, BI Publisher was able to read the WSDL without any issues, and run the report.

Hello BI Publisher:
I am trying to define a new dataset of type "Web Service", with a Complex Type configuration using WS-Security 2004. I get the following error when I try to "View" it:
**"javax.xml.soap.SOAPException: Error parsing envelope: (1, 1) Start of root element expected."**
This happens even if my Application Server (where the service is located) is not running, so I suspect that the error happens before the Publisher server tries to send the SOAP envevelop to the service server.
Publisher Version: Release 10.1.3.4

ORA-20100: Error occurred while parsing: Start of root element expected.

I've been searching everywhere for a reason to the following error message: ORA-20100: Error occurred while parsing: Start of root element expected.
I get this when attempting to parse an XML file stored as a CLOB using the xmlparser.parseClob procedure
Any help would be much appreciated.

I initially used US ASCII but then tried several unicode formats as created by XML Spy (UTF16, Unicode16, Unicode32). All had the exact same result.
Exactly what would be the most helpful output? The XML documents are varied, mostly very simple, but do you want the CLOB printed some other way?

Error occurred while parsing: Start of root element expected.

This my code i use to try inserting xml data:
v_BFile := BFILENAME('XML_DIR',v_xmlfile);
DBMS_LOB.createTemporary(v_clob, cache=>false);
DBMS_LOB.open(v_bFile, DBMS_LOB.lob_readonly);
DBMS_LOB.loadFromFile(v_clob,v_BFile,DBMS_LOB.getLength(v_bfile));
DBMS_LOB.close(v_bfile);
v_parser := XMLPARSER.newParser;
XMLPARSER.parseClob(v_parser,v_clob);
On the parseClob is get the error message: Error occurred while parsing: Start of root element expected.
My xml is as follows
<?xml version="1.0" ?>

What do i do wrong. Can someone help me

Kurt
Can you answer the following questions
Which Release of the database are you using ?
What is the database character set ?
What is the character set encoding of the source document ?
Remember that the loadFromFile procedure is designed to load binary data, and does not convert data into the database character set. If the database character set is UTF8, then the CLOB data has to be UCS2.
Can you dump the contents of the CLOB
If you are using 9iR2 then you can use the new procedure GetCLOBFromFile which will perform the correct coversions.
Also in 9iR2 we would recommend the use of the DBMS_XMLPARSER package, rather than the XMLPARSER package. The reason for this is the DBMS_XMLPARSER makes use of a 'C' based parser, running as native compiled code, which XMLPARSER still uses the Java based version of the parser. Performance with DBMS_XMLPARSER is much better.
Hope this helps

B2B-50029: B2B runtime error: oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLParseException: Start of root element expected.

Dear All,
I am a beginner to Oracle B2B.
I have created an agreement to Recieve 852, Product Activity data(POS) from one of the Trading partner. This is an inbound process.
A SOA composite application is created to Recieve the data and insert into perticular columns of the database table using database adapter.
I have tested the Interface with some couple of file and it went perfect without any error. Now I have to test the interface with some other files.
This time also I am not getting any error in Business Message, Wire message and Application message but the composite application is not picked.
The log file shows : B2B-50029: B2B runtime error: oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLParserException: Start of root element expected.
Please let me know if anyone has faced this issue. it will be of great help.
Thanks,

Just a thought, When I had the similar problem, it appeared to be a BOM (Byte order mark - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) in the xml file, which is the very first character in the xml file, so the file was not identified to be a valid xml file. Removing the BOM from the xml file fixed my problem, however, I did not spend much time in fixing using B2B, the vendor (sender of the file) fixed the file and started sending without BOM. So my work was easier.
The character is not visible in all XML editors, however, it was visible in JDeveloper. I used a tool to identify and remove during testing until the vendor fixed the file, the tool is called file bom detector,http://www.bryntyounce.com/filebomdetector.htm
Hope this helps,
Thanks,
Venkatesh

Oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLParseException: Start of root element expected

Hi,
while trying to get a soapelement from xml file, i have the error : oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLParseException: Start of root element expected
the code i m using is as follow :
public static SOAPMessage XMLDocToSOAP(String soapBodyAsString ) throws SAXException, IOException,
SOAPException,
ParserConfigurationException {
SOAPMessage message = null;
DocumentBuilderFactory dbf = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
dbf.setNamespaceAware(true);
InputStream is = new ByteArrayInputStream(soapBodyAsString.getBytes());
Document doc = dbf.newDocumentBuilder().parse(is);
MessageFactory factory = MessageFactory.newInstance();
message = factory.createMessage();
message.saveChanges();
SOAPBodyElement element = message.getSOAPBody().addDocument(doc);
return message;
}

Looks like the XML you are passing is not valid. Check that the XML complies the the definition.
Also can you post a XML that works and the one that fails.
cheers

I can successfully create the PDF from the desktop using the above XML. When I add the XML file to sample XML (in data definition), I can see the output when I choose Preview.
But, this is not working from the code.
Any pointers?

Hi,
We are currently on R12.XDO.B.1 (5.6.3?) Is there a patch we'll need to apply on top of this?
Is there a workaround for this?

hi Antara
about "... Though I have imported the following JDK parsers in the code , the Oracle's SAX parser is taking other inside the application server ..."
If you have used the SAXParserFactory.newSAXParser() method to get a parser, the documentation for this method says "Creates a new instance of a SAXParser using the currently configured factory parameters.".
So you might get a different parser in a different environment.

Hello,
I am also facing the same error. Flow is
1. I create XML file using View object. XML file looks like
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<EmpVO>
<EmpVORow>
<EmployeeId>100</EmployeeId>
<FirstName>Steven</FirstName>
<LastName>King</LastName>
<Email>SKING</Email>
<PhoneNumber>515.123.4567</PhoneNumber>
<HireDate>1987-06-17</HireDate>
<JobId>AD_PRES</JobId>
<Salary>24000</Salary>
<DepartmentId>90</DepartmentId>
</EmpVORow>
</EmpVO>
2. I have the following code to generate PDF report using XML Publisher:
InputStream in = getXMLFile();
FOProcessor processor = new FOProcessor();
processor.setData(in);
RTFProcessor rtfPro = new RTFProcessor("c:\\TemplateBuilder.rtf");
rtfPro.setOutput("C:\\Dir D\\BIPub\\BiPub\\emp.xsl");
rtfPro.process();
processor.setTemplate("C:\\Dir D\\BIPub\\BiPub\\emp.xsl");
processor.setOutput("C:\\Dir D\\BIPub\\BiPub\\emp.pdf");
processor.setOutputFormat(FOProcessor.FORMAT_PDF);
processor.generate();
3.If I set processor.setData("c:\\emp.xml") then it works fine. but if I set like processor.setData(InputStream) I get the following error :
[071309_110935627][oracle.apps.xdo.common.xml.XSLTWrapper][EXCEPTION] XSL error:
<Line 1, Column 1>: XML-20108: (Fatal Error) Start of root element expected.
Thanks you in advance.

BPEL 10.1.3.5: WSIFOperation returns error "Start of root element expected"

We have a customer reporting that one of the integration flow from EBS to OTM errors out with the above error. The flow works most of the time fine. But in some cases it errors out, with the error , however, there is no log in ithe OTM , for this , only the oc4j log has the following.
It is not clear, if the BPEL errored out on the bad response from the OTM server or the BPEL failed to invoke the OTM servlet. How to determine the what is causing the issue?

The content has the delivery informatiuon for the orders. The content differs for the errored ones, in the sense that it is for different delivery. The namespace etc are the same. There are about hundred GLogXMLElement in the payload.

Any help is appreciated

Hello,
The error occurs as far as your XSL file has incorrect structure. Your have to transform incoming XML in so-called (by Oracle) canonical form i.e.:
<ROWSET>
<ROW>
<FIELD_1>value-for-field-1</FIELD_1>
<FIELD_N>value-for-field-N</FIELD_N>
</ROW>
</ROWSET>
So, assuming your table has three fields : SHIPTO_NAME, SHIPT_STREET, SHIPTO_CITY, - your XSL file should look like following:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" >
<xsl:template match=/>
<ROWSET>
<xsl:apply-templates select=purchaseOrder/>
</ROWSET>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match=purchaseOrder>
<ROW>
<SHIPTO_NAME><xsl:value-of select=shipTo/name/></SHIPTO_NAME>
<SHIPTO_STREET><xsl:value-of select=shipTo/street/></SHIPTO_STREET>
<SHIPTO_CITY><xsl:value-of select=shipTo/city/></SHIPTO_CITY>
</ROW>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Hope this will help.

XML-20108: (Fatal Error) Start of root element expected. - jdev 11.1.2.3

Hello:
I created a simple ADF Fusion Web app using HR schema based on Employees table.
I am trying to get Contextual Events working and I did the following:
Created two taskflows: TaskFlowA and TaskFlowB. TaskFlowA has a form based on employees and TaskFlowB has a table based on employees.
Run the page and everything works.
Now, in the property inspector based on the submit button, I added a contextual event to publish the event.
Attempt to run the page again and I receive compile error:
\WEB-INF\temp\adf\styles\cache\fusionFx-v2-1-desktop-pr245v-ltr-ie-7.0-cmp.css
Error(1,1): <Line 1, Column 1>: XML-20108: (Fatal Error) Start of root element expected.
Any ideas to prevent/fix this problem?
Thanks much

As a temporary solution you could add below lines in the xml file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<test>
</test>

JSP Error: start of root element expected

Hello folks,
I have an error when I run the the JSP
application in my JDeveloper 3.2.2.
It gives an error
<< [error 4]start of root element expected>>
The error 4 is the line no i.e
<%@ taglib uri ="webapp/DataTags.tld" prefix = "jbo" %>
But when I deploy the jsp on my application server and access, it does not give any error.
Would appreciate the help asap.
regards,
David

David,
go to your project properties, Paths tab, HTML Paths section. If you have changed the "HTML root directory" folder, ensure that you have created the webapp folder underneath it. You can copy the webapp folder from:
C:\Program Files\Oracle\JDeveloper 3.2\myhtml\webapp
HTH,
Simon

(Fatal Error) Start of root element expected

Hi,
When running the app, I have got
Error(1,1): <Line 1, Column 1>: XML-20108: (Fatal Error) Start of root element expected.
I think it is due to some libraries missed inside the app. How to resolve this?
Regards,

did u check this file?
C:\dp\jdev11113\Login\ViewController\public_html\mdssys\mdx\Login4.jspx.rdf
actually these files gets created which we normally ignore.. you can remove this file.. and wrok normally without this error.. make sure that you have Login4.jspx file
or fix this file an check if there is a xml root element like
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Error parsing envelope: (1, 1) Start of root element expected.
