While trying to parse the following xml file using jaxp.jar and xerces.jar I am getting the following exception
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: The root element is required in a well-formed document.

Hi There,
I too am experiencing the same problem. I originally began with the problem described in
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=34&thread=138862
I removed the jaxp.jar and parser.jar from Tomcat's Lib folder and added the xerces.jar. This moved me on to the problem described in this thread.
Here is my XML file:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<training_seminar>
     <student>
          <id>0001</id>
          <name>Joe Jones</name>
          <email>[email protected]</email>
          <passport level="4 course">yes</passport>
     </student>
     <student>
          <id>0031</id>
          <name>Patrick Thompson</name>
          <email>[email protected]</email>
          <passport>no</passport>
     </student>
</training_seminar>
And here is my XSL:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
          version="1.0">
<xsl:template match="training_seminar">
<HTML><BODY>
     <TABLE BORDER="1">
     <TR>
          <TH>Student ID</TH>
          <TH>Name</TH>
          <TH>E-Mail</TH>
          <TH>Passport</TH>
     </TR>
     <xsl:for-each select="student">
          <TR>
               <TD> <xsl:value-of select="id"/></TD>
               <TD> <xsl:value-of select="name"/> </TD>
               <TD> <xsl:value-of select="email"/> </TD>
               <TD> <xsl:value-of select="passport"/> </TD>
          </TR>
     </xsl:for-each>
     </TABLE>
</BODY></HTML>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
And I guess while I am at it, my classpath:
CLASSPATH=e:\java\jdk1.3.1\jre\lib\rt.jar;e:\jakarta-tomcat-3.2.3\lib\servlet.jar;E:\Dev Tools\xalan-j_2_1_0\bin\xerces.jar;E:\Dev Tools\xalan-j_2_1_0\bin\xalan
.jar;E:\Dev Tools\xalan-j_2_1_0\bin\xsltc.jar;E:\Dev Tools\xalan-j_2_1_0\bin\xml
.jar;.
Any ideas is truly appreciated.
Thanks,
Gregg

Xerces Sockets and The root element is required

Hi,
I have a problem with Xerces 1.4.3 saying "The root element is required in a well-formed document.". The story is as follows:
When I read the XML from a file, it works OK.
But when I send the file over a socket stream, and try to parse it in the client side, it gives this silly message.
I am sure that there is no space before <?xml ... ?> and also the xml file is well formed.
I guess someone can say Xerces 2 solves this problem but I am using JBuilder 7 and I could not install the new xerces over old one. If someone knows how to do this please let me know. (Copying the jars into jbuilder7/lib does not seems to work as the file names are different and it wont overwrite the old xerces parser)
Any solution?
Thanks,

saving and parsing is working fine. hehe :)
seems that the parser is somewhat going crazy.
btw. I had written a class extending InputStream, so that it reads more than one file from a socket stream. But I have used it in this save and parse test and it worked so I dont think I have problems with that.
In one forum here, I saw someone saying that changing the version solved his problems about this silly thing. I think I wil try this.

JDOMException: root element required in a well-formed document

Ok, my XML file looks something like this:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<this>
<that></that>
</this>
... and my Java code to build a JDOM object model from the XML file (Xerces-parsed) looks somethings like this:
Document theDoc;
SAXBuilder theBuilder;
InputSource = theSource;
theBuilder = new SAXBuilder("org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser");
theDoc = builder.build(theSource);
Now, when I compile and run, I get a JDOMException that looks something like this:
org.jdom.JDOMException: Error on line 1 of document : The root element is required in a well-formed document.
What's up with that?

(1) Thanks for taking the time. I'm not sure how I could make more than one root element. All I know is, in my XML file, the element tag that comes right after the <? xml version="1.0" ?> line has the same name as the very last tag in the file (with a "/" added before the name). There are no other elements in the file with that name, so I figure that makes it (ie. <this></this>) the root element of my document. N'est pas?
(2) I have some more info since I originally posted:
I added the following line:
"System.err.println(e.getCause());"
... to the catch() area that throws the JDOMException - like follows:
try {
theCurrentDocument = builder.build( docFile ); // builder is an object created with <i>builder = new SAXBuilder("org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser");</i>
docType_CurrentDoc = theCurrentDocument.getDocType();
root_CurrentDoc = theCurrentDocument.getRootElement();
catch( org.jdom.JDOMException e ) {
System.err.println(e); // Caused the original JDOMException from my first post
System.err.println(e.getCause()); // Line I added since my first post
The amended code above produced an extra line of output to the console:
"java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.io.FilePermission \myfile.xml read)"
Which I take to mean that I have to sign my applet. Is there any way around doing that? Because I don't want to if I don't have to.

OdiInvokeWebService invoke the Async ws error!! not a well-formed document

Hello, Everybody, I need you help.
I use the OdiInvokeWebService utility to invoke the Async web service in the ODI Design. the Async service can run successful. but the ODI has the error:The root element is required in a well-formed document. If I use the OdiInvokeWebService to invoke the sync web service. It is ok, not error happens. so i guess that maybe beacause the Async has not the reponse message. but I don't know how to resolve the problem. PLZ help. thanks.

Hi, Aprendiz, Thanks for you apply. Do you meet this problem. If I use the OdiInvokeWebService to Invoke the sync webservice. It has not problem. But the Async webservice has the error log. Now I must use OdiInvokeWebService.Thank you.

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/"

Real time transaction response - unable to locate the root element

Hi There
Has anyone integrated webMethods with Data Services 3.2 for real time transactions?
We are trying to create a real time dataflow, initiated by webMethods. We are sending the request to the Access Server which runs our
real time dataflow and does process the request. However, our return response is null. No data in the response back to webMethods. We have
tested this in soapUI, and our transaction does work. We get the correct response back.
So my question is has any experienced this issue with webMethods? Any suggestions or ideas?
Here is the error
===========================================
Path name:
     PortType: Real-time_Services
     Operation: Realtime_address_cleanse

ps- xmlspy does not work as well
Please let me know
Thanks

The problem was the generated test SOAP message from Netbeans. When built, the interface had more levels than described below. I've also had similar issues caused by bad namespaces - either not defined properly or not picking up the default namespace.

E4X: What happens to the root element?

I'm working with XML using the E4X notation. I'm used to the "old school" XML APIs that use DOM and I'm a bit confused.
For example, let's consider the following XML
<mx:XML id="myXML" >
<top>
    <sub1 id="uno">
      <sub2>hello</sub2>
      <sub3>world</sub3>
    </sub1>
    <sub1 id="duo">
      <sub2>ok</sub2>
      <sub3>ko</sub3>
    </sub1>
</top>
</mx:XML>
In my code I use the following traces. This is done with the De MonsterDebugger, but all others should work the same way. I have casted the traces to String only to make it easier to ask this question (no need post images)
MonsterDebugger.trace(this, "myXML:" + myXML);
MonsterDebugger.trace(this, "myXML.sub1: " + myXML.sub1);
MonsterDebugger.trace(this, "myXML.sub1.sub2: " + myXML.sub1.sub2);
What I get as output is
(String) = myXML:<top>
<sub1 id="uno">
    <sub2>hello</sub2>
    <sub3>world</sub3>
</sub1>
<sub1 id="duo">
    <sub2>ok</sub2>
    <sub3>ko</sub3>
</sub1>
</top>
(String) = myXML.sub1: <sub1 id="uno">
<sub2>hello</sub2>
<sub3>world</sub3>
</sub1>
<sub1 id="duo">
<sub2>ok</sub2>
<sub3>ko</sub3>
</sub1>
(String) = myXML.sub1.sub2: <sub2>hello</sub2>
<sub2>ok</sub2>
All is fine above and this was a bit long abstract for my question. The question is what happens to the root element, in this case <top>? I was trying to access the data with the following notation
myXML.top.sub1; // etc
I spent quite a lot of time trying to get it to work, until I discovered that the root element is not used. Can anyone explain this?
Or, I guess the simple explanation is that the root node is ignored and the sub nodes are created as properties of the object. The question also could be stated as: Why isn't this documented in the Flex API Reference?
Thanks.
P.S. I found this article on common E4X pitfalls which also has other interesting topics when working with E4X.

Rename the root element in a XMLTYPE field

Hello, I have to rename the root element of an XMLTYPE like :
Change :
<Address>
<Name>Dupont</Name>
<Street>Av de la gare</Street>
</Address>
To :
<CustomerAddress>
<Name>Dupont</Name>
<Street>Av de la gare</Street>
</CustomerAddress>
One solution will be to use the EXTRACT (a.xml, '/*/*') AS "CustomerAddress"
I am just afraid about performance !!!
Anyone has an advice
Best Regards

Start of the root element expected.

Hello Gurus,
I moved all my project contents from one root directory to another, after seting up everything. It gives compile time error on adf-faces-config.xml and adf-faces-skins.xml.
The error:
XML-20108 - Start of the root element expected.
I have no idea what could have originated this error and how to fix it. Can any one help me?
Thank you.
Ruchir

I built the new project structure from scratch. i.e. created new application, then added a web project, then added all css file from old locations, then, created new xml documents and renamed it to adf-config-faces.xml and adf-faces-skins.xml and manually copied from these config xml documents from old location to newer one.
And then at last, copied the .jspx page and when compiling that, control moves to adf-config-faces.xml file and gives the error.
Thanks,
Ruchir

Since installing the latest update, Firefox will not load; it gives me the following error -- XML Parsing Error: not well formed.

since installing the latest update, Firefox first operated with some errors but now will not load at all; it gives me the following error --
XML Parsing Error: not well formed
locations chrome://browser/content/browser.xml
Line Number 1191, column 20:
utton id="back-forward-dropmarker" type="menu" chromedir="&locale.dir;"-------------------
please note that the words "utton ID" are exactly as the error message gives it; and at the end of the message there are exactly 19 hyphens.
I don't know why this faulty code is referencing things to do with "chrome"... the Chrome browser is not installed on this PC or anywhere on our network.
Also, this is not the first problem I had after clicking Firefox's prompt for the latest update. Before Firefox retreated into this error message, it was loading but running with some faults...
1. the bookmark symbol was not appearing on the right hand side of the URL line, so I had always to click on "bookmark this page", after which the bookmark symbol did appear; however I don't know if the bookmarking function worked properly.
2. the back and forward buttons were not highlighted, as if I had not come from a previous page; so once I clicked on a link to a new page I could not go back to where I came from because Fiefox thought I hadn't come from anywhere.
3. there may have been other errors, but I did not find them.
How do I reinstate my Firefox program to work properly please? do I have to download the latest version and reinstal? if so, do I have to remove the old version first? or is there a fix?
Even to write this message I have been forced to use (yuk -- I don't like to say this!!!) Internet Explorer. So please -- I need help urgently.
Thanks,
NOEL

Some how I solved my problem by opening a user account and downloading Firefox 4.0 beta and installing it, I did try it, worked fine, so I did close the user account and did go back to my own account(switched user), the main page that I had problem with Firefox which would not open, I dabble click on Firefox it start working again!! I hope that solves your problem too.
firefox will not open, it gives me this cod and would not turn off, Error on switching in renew: NS_ERROR_UNEXPECTED, Component returned failure code: 0x8000ffff (NS_ERROR_UNEXPECTED) [nsIPrefBranch.getCharPref] id: none

Namespace Prefix in the Root Element of the variable

Hi Gurus,
We need to call a webservice which requires a namespace prefix at the root elemnt of the xml payload. But as we know that the default behaviour of BPEL removes the prefix so the invoke activity is failing and so we are stuck.
I found this thread Namespace prefix in Root element missing during variable assignment but i feel the solution specified in this link works only in SOA 10g environment Please let us know what needs to be done?
Appreciate a prompt response.
NOTE: SOA Suite Version- 11.1.1.4
Regards
Ayush

Hi All,
we are also facing the same issue, Please provide the solution if anyone knows. We are also using the SOA Suite 11g Version.

The root element is required in a well-formed document.
