Org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Missing whitespace before SYSTEM literal URI

Hi
I've written a Java web service using WLW7.0.1. I now want to test it using SOAP
RPC from a Java client. Having written the client, I get a "org.xml.sax.SAXParseException:
Missing whitespace before SYSTEM literal URI" exception when I run it.
Has anyone else come across this exception, or am I missing something glaringly
obvious?!!!
Thanks
Tim

Hi Tim,
Could you post the entire traceback?
Also, you might try the verify utility against the WSDL just as a check:
http://webservice.bea.com/wsdlVerify.zip
You are using clientgen to build the client?
HTHs,
Bruce

Just for anyone else who hits this problem: I encountered the same issue with an XML document that XMLSpy claims is quite well formed. I opened the document in a hex editor, and there at the from was a three-byte byte order marker - the marker that I believe the UTF-8 standard says is optional. I removed these three bytes, and the file was parsed correctly.
In this case, the XML file was created using a Microsft DOM (save).
My solution is to make the java parser - as I use it - a tad more robust: Open the file and create an input stream - a pushback input stream. Read the first three bytes; if they are NOT a BOM, then push those bytes back. Now - in any case - give the stream to the parser to read.
try {
// Open file for reading.
f = new File(path);
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(f);
PushbackInputStream pis = new PushbackInputStream(fis);
byte[] buf = new byte[3];
pis.read(buf, 0, 3);
if (! (buf[0] == 0x00EF) && (buf[1] == 0x00BB) && (buf[2] == 0x00BF) ) {
pis.unread(buf, 0, 3);
builder = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance().newDocumentBuilder();
doc = builder.parse(pis);
catch (Exception x) {
x.printStackTrace();
}

The error is in your XML input, not in your Java code. Probably the XML doesn't declare its encoding, so the parser assumes that it is encoded in UTF-8. And probably it contains some character (like an accented letter, for example) that is not part of the UTF-8 encoding. So contact the person who created the XML -- which is not well-formed XML, by the way -- and get them to fix it. It's possible that declaring the encoding as ISO8859-1 might work, but it might not. All depends on what the invalid character is.

Exception: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException

Hi Folks,
We are trying to parse against a dtd and we are receiving:
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Relative URI "C:\SuitabilityHR.dtd"; can not be resolved without a document URI.
The path is absolute and named correctly. Can anyone provide some direction around the cause of this exception? Thanks.

Thanks. However we are still receiving this exception. Here is the <!Doctype> tag along with the rest of the message. We also tried the relative version. Thanks.

Org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: File "..\contents.dtd" not found.

I have an xml file that has to be parsed in my application, without changing the XML. I don't have the dtd that is mentioned in the XML file.
The code i am using to parse the xml into a Document is
DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
factory.setValidating(false);
System.out.println("Factory=" + factory.isValidating());
DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
builder.setEntityResolver(new XMLResolver());
System.out.println("DocBuilder=" + builder.isValidating());
Document doc = builder.parse(xml.getInputStream());
System.out.println("doc=" + doc);
if (doc == null) {
return;
The XML file is
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE contentspace SYSTEM "..\contents.dtd" [

When i run this through it throws an exception with the message
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: File "..\contents.dtd" not found.
I thought by setting factory.setValidating(false) it would not read the DTD, but it does.
Is there any way to make the document model NOT attempt to read the DTD ???

setValidating(false) has no effect on checking against the DTD.
create your own EntityResolver rather than using new XMLResolver(): in this resolver divert the call to the DTD on an empty XML document.
i have shown how to do so in another thread, just run a search on this forum (this hint is valid for any question btw)

Org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: The encoding "ISO8859-1" is not supported.

Please help. I am trying to parse an XMl document using de DOMParser:
try {
DOMParser parser = new DOMParser();
parser.parse("myFile.xml");
document = parser.getDocument();
} catch (SAXException e) {
System.err.println (e);
} catch (IOException e) {
System.err.println (e);
I use the encouding "ISO8859-1" in myFile.xml:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='ISO8859-1' ?>
But if I execute my program I get the following error:
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: The encoding "ISO8859-1" is not supported.
How I can I resolve that?
Many thanks!
Yassin

The Java API documentation (the bit about character encodings) mentions "ISO-8859-1" but not "ISO8859-1". Try that instead?

Make sure there's no whitespace prior to <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>, or do away with it completey.

Org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: White spaces are required between publicId

Hi,
Im migrating an application from weblogic to tomcat 5.5.23 with java 1.5. application involved PDF generation using xalan.jar for transformation. tht pdf generation part is not working in tomcat. Im getting a "org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: White spaces are required between public-Id and system id" error.
so i replaced the old xalan.jar with latest one ( xalan 2.7.1 ) still no use. I have also explicitly defined the property "javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory" to "org.apache.xalan.processor.TransformerFactoryImpl" still getting the same exception.
plz help
Thanks in Advance.

I have had good results using JTidy to parse HTML into a DOM.

I am using Taglib in JSP file .
I am calling the AbcTagLib from my jsp Login.jsp file.
The entries for the taglib is there in web.xml file.
Please see the attachments.
I am getting the following errors while running my JSP file:
Parsing of JSP File '/jsp/Login.jsp' failed:
/jsp/Login.jsp: Could not parse deployment descriptor: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException:
Could not parse: taglib starting at line 1
probably occurred due to an error in /jsp/Login.jsp:
<%@ taglib uri="AbcTagLib" prefix="abc" %>
Please look in to it and suggest some solution.
The files are :

Org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: cvc-elt.1: Cannot find the declaration of ..

Hello,
I try to validate a DOM Document using:
SchemaFactory factory=SchemaFactory.newInstance(XMLConstants.W3C_XML_SCHEMA_NS_URI);
Source schemaFile=new StreamSource("myschema.xsd");
schema schema=factory.newSchema(schemaFile);
Validator validator=schema.newValidator();
validator.validate(new DOMSource(document));
I don't validate using the parse(File) method, because I already have a DOM Tree in memory.
BUT now I receive the following error:
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: cvc-elt.1: Cannot find the declaration of element 'catalogue'.

catalogue is my rootElement.
I'm using jdk 1.4.
Does somebody know how to solve this?
Thank you!

Hi All,

<%@ taglib prefix="x" uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/xml" %>
<html>
<head>
<title>JSTL Support for XML</title>

From what I understand, it has nothing to do with your JSP and all to do with the XML it's supposed to parse. It sounds malformed. Check the first tag.

Org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: The markup in the document preceding the roo

Below is the XML we are using to parse:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ead><archdesc level="class">desc</archdesc><eadheader audience="internal"><eadid>eadid23456</eadid></eadheader></ead>
The application throws the exception:
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: The markup in the document preceding the root element must be well-formed.

I tried using several editors and online XML syntax checkers. None of them complained. Also I tried removing the newline character or any spaces in the document. Didn't help either. I read in some of the forums that Xerces could be picky about spaces but even without any spaces, I am getting this exception.
We are using Weblogic 8.1 and the default parsers... Any help is appreciated. - Thanks...

The Java API documentation (the bit about character encodings) mentions "ISO-8859-1" but not "ISO8859-1". Try that instead?
