Geting a "must be well-formed" error in a JSP

I have a JSP file and it compiles and runs just fine, but JSC gives me the following error:
There are errors in the project.
You must resolve these problems.
results.jsp:1: The markup in the document preceding the root element must be well-formed.
on this line in the JSP (Line 1 of file)
<%@page import="com.phonebook.User" %>
Not sure why or how to fix it or what JSC is expecting...

<%@page import="com.phonebook.User" %>
should be after the root element declaration
and the syntax for xml is<jsp:directive.page import="className"/>
or import=package.Class

The markup must be well-formed.

Hi,
I am beginer in SAX and Java.
I am tring to read Information from not well formed XML File.
When I try to use SAX or DOM Parser then I have this error:
The markup in the document following the root element must be well-formed.
My XML File looks like this:
<format type="filename" t="13241">0;W650;004;AG-Erzgeb</format>
<format type="driver" t="123412">001;023</format>
Can I force SAX or DOM to parse not well-formed XML files?
Thank you for your help.

Thank you it helps.
I used ByteArrayInputStream and InputStream to add <root>... </root> for the file on the fly and it is well formed now.
String rootB ="<wrapper>";
     String rootE= "</wrapper>";
     Vector<InputStream> v = new Vector<InputStream>();
     byte[] bArray = rootB.getBytes();
     byte[] eArray = rootE.getBytes();
     ByteArrayInputStream baisB = new ByteArrayInputStream(bArray);
     ByteArrayInputStream baisE = new ByteArrayInputStream(eArray);
     InputStream fisFile = new FileInputStream(file);
     v.addElement( baisB );
     v.addElement( fisFile );
     v.addElement( baisE );
     InputStream combined = new SequenceInputStream(v.elements());
        Document doc = docBuilder.parse (combined);....

Warnings about root element must be well-formed

Hey, I just downloaded and am getting running with FlexMetrics. I'm running this from the ant taskdef. When I run it, I get what looks to be valid and fine XML reports generated, but I also get a bunch of warnings, each of which reads:
[flex-metrics] Oct 25, 2010 11:54:00 AM de.bokelberg.flex.parser.AS3Scanner$XMLVerifier verify [flex-metrics] WARNING: The markup in the document preceding the root element must be well-formed. at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.util.ErrorHandlerWrapper.createSAXParseException(Error HandlerWrapper.java:195) [flex-metrics] com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.util.ErrorHandlerWrapper.fatalError(ErrorHandlerWrappe r.java:174) [flex-metrics] com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.impl.XMLErrorReporter.reportError(XMLErrorReporter.jav a:388)
The taskdef element is pretty standard:
<taskdef name="flex-metrics" classname="com.adobe.ac.pmd.metrics.ant.FlexMetricsAntTask" classpath="${flexpmd.libs}/flex-pmd-metrics-ant-task-${flexpmd.version}.jar">
    <classpath>
        <pathelement location="${flexpmd.libs}/flex-pmd-files-${flexpmd.version}.jar" />
        <pathelement location="${flexpmd.libs}/flex-pmd-metrics-${flexpmd.version}.jar" />
        <pathelement location="${flexpmd.libs}/as3-plugin-utils-${flexpmd.version}.jar" />

        <pathelement location="${flexpmd.libs}/dom4j-1.6.1.jar"/>
    </classpath>
</taskdef>
References to this look like this:
<flex-metrics sourcedirectory="${home.project}\src" outputfile="${deploy.dir}/metrics/project.javancss.xml" />
So I'm not doing anything weird or crazy with it. I get that error message repeated 42 times. I can't really seem to correlate that number with anything in my project, i.e. we've got more than 42 mxml files (59 of them), we've got more than 42 AS3 files, etc. So I'm not really sure what it's hitting 42 times to come up with that error.
Any ideas on what this might indicate would be greatly appreciated!

My working theory is that it chokes on instances of the Vector Object (http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/Vector.html) but I have yet to verify that conclusively.

The markup in the document preceding the root element must be well-formed

Hi,
Each time I add some library, something serious happens to my NetBeans5.5 and Tomcat 5.5.17. This time I added jsf-facelets.jar and now nothing is being deployed. I m getting following exception
javax.servlet.ServletException: Error Parsing /Dept.jsp: Error Traced[line: 1] The markup in the document preceding the root element must be well-formed.
javax.faces.webapp.FacesServlet.service(FacesServlet.java:202)
Is there any special procedure to follow to add libraries?
Plz help.

Facelets is XHTML. XHTML is XML-HTML. XML require strict well-formness of the tags. I.e. every tag should be correctly nested and closed.
I would say, read the Facelets Developer Documentation: http://www.google.com/search?q=facelets+developer+documentation

The markup in the document following the root element must be well-formed.

I have my XML root element that looks like this:
<DataResponseOfListOfSite xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www
.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns="http://xxxxxx/webservices/sites/">
and I get the error "The markup in the document following the root element must be well-formed."
If I use this it works fine:
<DataResponseOfListOfSite xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www
.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://xxxxxx/webservices/sites/">
Does anyone know why I have to have the xmlns:xsi="" instead of just xmlns=""
If I paste this XML into any validator, it says that its good, so I dont know why Flex is complaining about it.

In the first one you have two namespaces both with the same prefix.
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" and xmlns:xsi="http://xxxxxx/webservices/sites/"

Xsl:include msg - document following root element must be well-formed

I am getting the following message when I try to execute a transaction that takes an XML file & transforms it. The message is:
"[ERROR]: XSLTransform error: javax.xml.transform.TransformerConfigurationException: javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: The markup in the document following the root element must be well-formed."
The transaction loads an xml input file, and then transforms it. The transformation stylesheet does some formatting to the xml. The stylesheet has an include in it that adds an element to the output.
Input XML data
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Rowset>
    <Row>
        <ItemNo>00000000001884304</ItemNo>
        <ItemDesc>Test Item Description</ItemDesc>
    </Row>
</Rowset>
Expected output:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Item>
    <Items ItemDesc="Test Item Description" RawItemNo="00000000001884304" dotties="...................." editedItemNo="1884304" supernova="**********" />
</Item>
If I point the <xsl:include to a web folder on a test box, it will read & translate the data into the expected output. However, when I have both the initial stylesheet and the include stylesheet in the same Web folder in MII, I get the above message. If the URL is any different, it generates an IO error.
The initial stylesheet is
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" >
<xsl:output method="xml" />
<xsl:include href="http://myserver:myport/XMII/CM/foldername/testcalls_2.xsl"/>
<xsl:variable name="wrkitem" select="//ItemNo"/>

      <xsl:if test="$count > 0">
        <xsl:text>.</xsl:text>
        <xsl:call-template name="dots">
          <xsl:with-param name="count" select="$count - 1"/>
        </xsl:call-template>
      </xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="removeLeadingZeros">

          <xsl:value-of select="substring-after($originalString,'0' )"/>
        </xsl:with-param>
      </xsl:call-template>
    </xsl:when>
    <xsl:otherwise>
      <xsl:value-of select="$originalString"/>
    </xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
and the stylesheet being called by the xsl:include -
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template name="stars" match="Item">
<Stars>
     <xsl:element name="BBB">
          <xsl:text>**********</xsl:text>
     </xsl:element>
</Stars>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
FYI, both of the stylesheets above are in the same folder on the WEB tab in MII. The full name (properties tab) is:
foldername/WEB/Test/stylesheet.xsl
Also, I am able to browse & view each of them in IE. The url they are at is:
http://server:port/XMII/CM/foldername/test/stylesheet.xsl
Both stylesheets appear to be well-formed.
If I use any other syntax other than the full URL, the error it generates is an IO Exception on the included stylesheet. The markup message above makes me believe that it is at least attempting to handle the included stylesheet.
In the Link editor of the xsl Transformation Incoming tab, there are two assignments being made.
1. Transform property
object= xsl_transformation_0
property=Transform
expression="db://foldername/WEB/Test/stylesheet.xsl" (this is the initial, not included stylesheet)
Link type=Assign Value
2. Input property
object= xsl_transformation_0
property=Input
Expression=testitems_0.XmlContent
Link type=Assign XML
Running MII 12.0
Thoughts? Any input appreciated.

In the first one you have two namespaces both with the same prefix.
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" and xmlns:xsi="http://xxxxxx/webservices/sites/"

My XML document is wellformed no doubt about thatNo doubt about that?!?
I would say there is a great deal of doubt about that, especially since the subject of this thread, which you stated was the error message from FireFox is that the document is not well formed at all. I have some more wild guesses about what you've screwed up. Would you like to hear them? My best guess at this point would be that you are outputting some whitespace at the start of the output.
Anyway, this seems pretty pointless. Your code is crap. And I really don't see the point in telling us you have an error, posting code, then having several people identify several major problems in your code and then for you tell us that your code is perfect. Your code is not perfect. It's terrible. Fix it. You've been given several ideas in this and your cross-post as to how to fix it.

As BalusC said - run the JSP producing the xml.
Save that xml to a file - INCLUDING any white space - because thats what you actually get.
Open that xml file in your browser - it should tell you at that point if your xml is well formed.
AS BalusC said this is better done in a servlet - especially since you're just doing out.println.
JSPs add extra whitespace and carriage returns. While that won't necessarily break XML, it can cause problems with the first few characters.

"XML not well-formed" error while testing Interface mapping.

Hello Experts,
I have a simple Interface mapping test, where a single input field of type string is mapped to a target Interface.
The content of a string actually will be a XML. I am using a XSLT mapping to convert string XML to XML. The XSLT mapping used by me is as :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output omit-xml-declaration="yes" />
<xsl:template match="@*|node()">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()" />
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:value-of select="//string" disable-output-escaping="yes" />
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Test data to be used is :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<string>
<catalog>
     <cd>
          <title>Empire Burlesque</title>
          <artist>Bob Dylan</artist>
          <country>USA</country>
          <company>Columbia</company>
          <price>10.90</price>
          <year>1985</year>
     </cd>
     <cd>
          <title>Unchain my heart</title>
          <artist>Joe Cocker</artist>
          <country>USA</country>
          <company>EMI</company>
          <price>8.20</price>
          <year>1987</year>
     </cd>
</catalog>
</string>
My Target structure is like:
catalog
CD
    title
    artist
    country
    company
    price
    year
No matter what I input as a test data , I get the error as "XML not well-formed" while testing Interface mapping.
Please suggest what could be the reason for this error?
Regards,
Abhi.

Hi check your XSLT mapping in XMLY spy with test data,the out of the XSLT Mapping should be valid XML , then only you can see output in interface mapping.

Raj

Help! Flash error: 1088 (Markup in doucment not well-formed)

I'm trying to use ASP.NET to retrieve data from the sql server, place in inside an xml and sends the xml to flash to display the data.

HOWEVER, if i replace the

with
"ds.WriteXml("C:\new.xml")
it works. But i dont wan a .xml file residing in the server. so i hope that the .xml file would be cleared off as soon as the request is done.
Did i do something wrong?
PS: I don't know if i post this in the correct section but since it's related to AS3, thats why i post it here. sorry if i made a mistake.

Please paste the following line as first statement in loaded function, also compare the output of the following line with expected output from ASP page.
trace(event.target.data);
The error is causing due to the fact that XML received is not well formed.
I guess the problem is with write XML you are getting some additional tag elements and these are not wellformed. so flash is giving error.

Error using XML Loader: XML not well-formed

Hi all,
I am facing a problem using the XML loader in xMII 12.0 when trying to load the following XML file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Users>
<User>
    <UserID>IMXOO</UserID>
    <CWID>IMXOO</CWID>
    <Prename>Michael</Prename>
    <Surname>Otto</Surname>
    <CreatedOn>2001-12-31T12:00:00</CreatedOn>
    <CreatedBy>IMXOO</CreatedBy>
</User>
</Users>
I also tried a most basic XML file which shows the same error:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<ausgabe>
<anzeige>Testausgabe</ausgabe>
</ausgabe>
To my understanding both files are well-formed, however xMII shows the error:
"The markup in the document following the root element must be well-formed."
Do I break any rules concerning the markup? IE loads the files without showing any errors.
Best Regards
Michael

Jeremy,
again you gave the key to the solution. When the error occured, I have set up the following path within the xMII workbench:
"Catalog-Tab"
<server>
  > Sandbox
        > XML
            myFile.xml
When I tried to load the mxFile.xml with the XML Loader, I got the error described above (XML not well-formed). I also cannot drag the file into a transaction in the workbench. I have manually configured the XML Loader with "http://<server:port>/XMII/CM/Sandbox/XML/mxFile".
Now using your hint I have changed to the "Web-Tab":
"Web-Tab"
<server>
    > Sandbox
        > WEB
            > XML
                myFile.xml
Then all works fine, when I now drag the file into the transaction. As you described, an XML Loader action is created with configuration "db://Sandbox/WEB/XML/myFile.xml" and the XML is loaded correctly.
Thanks for your help!
Best regards
Michael

XML Not well formed, Mapping error

Hi All,
I'm trying a simple file to file scenario..
Following is the structure of source and target file..
Source structure
===============
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ns:SourceMT xmlns:ns="urn:tmp:workshop:file2file">
<Src1>1</Src1>

Target Structure

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ns:TargetMT xmlns:ns="urn:tmp:workshop:file2file">
<Tgt1>1</Tgt1>
<Tgt2>2</Tgt2>
</ns:TargetMT>
I did a one to one mapping for the two fields and tested the same using the test tool in IR and it works fine..
However when I put the same source xml structure in the Input file it gives me the below error..
Also when I copy the payload from the sxmb_moni and paste the same in the test tool in IR it throws an error saying
"XML not well-formed"

Hi ,
<i>During the application mapping com/sap/xi/tf/_FileMM_ a com.sap.aii.utilxi.misc.api.BaseRuntimeException was thrown: RuntimeException in Message-Mapping transformatio~</i>
It is clearly saying that exception in mapping....Check your mapping correcly with one to one mapping.Dont do any mapping to the root node and check it...
And also check this...

XML Problem - Markup not well-formed? (kinda long)

Hello, I'm working on my first AIR app and I've run into a bit of a snag. The app is intended to allow users of our system to create a Word document, save it as XML, and then load it into the AIR app and have some manipulation performed to extract data, and finally store the data in a database. The reasons for this app to exist are pretty irrelevant for the particular problem that I'm having, but a little background on my development efforts might help shed light on my situation, and with luck one of you might be able to help me figure this out.
I started on this app using the URLLoader and URLRequest objects to load a Word document saved as XML from a server. This worked fine, I created logic to distinguish between Word 2007 and Word 2003 XML formats and using the E4X XML and XMLList objects I was able to load that XML into an XML object, change it to a string, grab the document body, strip out namespaces and such (formatting is mostly irrelevant here too, only the actual data is of importance) amd eventually get a much simpler XML object or list that contained just the data relevant to the purpose at hand. This was all working fine, I managed to get both Word XML formats to process as I wished and spit out new XML that will serve as the basis for another application that we run. Great!
The problem was that in order to use this method in a distributed way I needed to have the original Word documents accessible to the code, which meant having the user upload their Word file (saved as XML) and then retrieving it with the URLLoader and URLRequest. I actually implemented this method using the FileReference object in AS3 and using some simple PHP code to store the file in a server directory that was accessible to the client. Unfortunately, this lead me to thinking about the security issues involved and how allowing PHP to write to a directory would open it to potential malicious attacks, yada yada yada, you all know the issues. So I thought that I might be able to read the file before uploading it in the kind of circular logic that sometimes happens. When I started into the AS3 docs to check on classes to help, I realized that my initial suspicions were correct and that in order to load and read the file locally, I could use AIR, have the user load up their XML file, process it and then send the resulting XML and info to the database directly (eliminating the need to send files to the server AND preventing the need to allow PHP to write to the server in this instance).
So after a bit of reading and testing, I managed to modify my FLA to publish an AIR file, and started debugging. My Word 2007 document worked fine - I create a File object and a FileStream object and they are easily able to access the file the user selects via the File.browseForOpen method. I then run the processing code, which begins by creating an XML object from the data read from the file. What's happening now is that while the Word 2007 document loads and processes without an issue, the Word 2003 document is causing a 1088 error: The markup in the document following the root element must be well-formed.
I don't understand why this is happening since the same document in the same format was able to be loaded into an XML object when I used the URLLoader to grab the file. The only thing I can conclude is that somehow the FileStream.readUTFBytes() method is somehow causing an issue. I am able to trace out what is being read, but the file is lengthy and I haven't completed my analysis to see if and where the changes are occuring.
If anyone has any experience with this type of situation, I'd really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

OK, it turns out that for some reason the Word 2003 XML document was being read with an extra character preceding the actual markup. By dumping the stream into a string and then clipping the first character I was able to get the app running again. Thanks for taking the time to read this thread!

XML from CF not well-formed?

I have been working through the Training from the Source book
on Flex2 (Trapper, Boles, Talbot, etc.). In Lesson 17, it deals
with accessing server-side objects.
One piece of code accesses a CF template, which brings in an
XML file:
<mx:HTTPService id="prodByCatRPC"
url="
http://localhost/flexGrocer/xml/categorizedProducts.cfm"
result="prodByCategoryHandler(event)"
resultFormat="e4x" />
The CF plate from the book's file has the following:
<cfheader name="Expires" value="#now()#" />
<cfxml variable="xProducts">
<cfinclude template="categorizedProducts.xml">
</cfxml>
<cfset xmlObject=ToString(xProducts)>
<cfcontent type="text/xml" />
<cfoutput>#variables.xmlObject#</cfoutput>
When run the Flex file, I get a run-time message which seems
to indicate that the XML is not well-formed. (Here is a bit of the
message; not sure I'm understanding it!):
[RPC Fault faultString="Error #1088: The markup in the
document following the root element must be well-formed."
faultCode="Client.CouldNotDecode" faultDetail="null"]
I am ASSUMING that the CF page is not returning the xml as
desired, because if I simply change the flex http service call to
the xml file that the CF page is including, the flex app runs as
expected and without errors:
url="
http://localhost/flexGrocer/xml/categorizedProducts.xml"
(something in the posting mech is making the above url
statement messed up, but you can probably tell what I mean)
I am a CF developer and although haven't used the book's
exact method to get the cf generated xml, I have done so
successfully for Spry and other things.
I tried some ot the things I had to do to get the CF
generated xml to work in Spry with this flex, but didn't help.
Tried adding a reset='true" with the cfcontent tag; tried making
the cfcontent wrap the output; added cfprocessing tags to
suppresswhitespace.
Appreciate any thoughts/help on how to solve this. Also,
whether others agree that the problem is with the generated xml
rather than something else.
Thanks
Keith

I don't remember the exact context when I first posted this
question and answered it; but, if one doesn't want to change
overall settings for debugging in cf admin., I *think* you can
ajust for a specific area using cfsetting and/or
cfprocessingdirective. There's a number of attributes and
combinations there that I think can take care of the problem. I
forget for sure, but may want to try that, especially on a
development box where you might generally want debugging to be on.
Also, if using cfcs in any part of what you generate, they
can produce whitespace. To solve (or minimize), make sure that
output attribute in the component is false and that output in
function is false (unless directly outputting within the function.
Seems like CF and whitespace is an ongoing item to try to
manage.
