The markup must be well-formed.

Question

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.

Answer 1

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);....
