XML and HTTP adapter

Question

I am having the following Scenario  File1(Request) to HTTP (Synchronous) and send the response from HTTP to File2.
The response what I am going to receive is below. But I am getting an error message "Invalid at the top level of the document". Thats True because the first 5 lines of the response are not an XML format? How to take care of the situation. Should I need use anything special in my Receiver HTTP adapter?
Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="----=_Part_0_10550230.1105574425445"
=_Part_0_10550230.1105574425445
Content-Type: text/xml; charset=UTF-8
Content-ID: <[email protected]>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE cXML SYSTEM "http://xml.cxml.org/schemas/cXML/1.2.014/cXML.dtd">
<cXML timestamp="2005-01-12T16:00:25-08:00"
      payloadID="[email protected]">
   <Response>
      <Status code="200" text="OK"/>
      <DataResponse>
         <Attachment>             <URL>cid:[email protected]</URL>
         </Attachment>
      </DataResponse>
   </Response>
</cXML>

Hi Mohini,
I don't think this can be achieved using XSLT mapping. As Bhavesh said XSLT dose'nt check for the structure but it does checks if it is a well formed XML in first place. The one which you posted is not at all a XML document, I would say its a text document or a string.
So it would be possible either by ABAP mapping or Java mapping. But while doing it in ABAP or Java you should not directly take the input stream and parse it coz this is not a XML strucutre. The parser will obviously throw an error saying not a well formed XML. So first you need to take this as a string and remove those first 5 line using string manipulation/string functions. Then return the rest of the string is a XML, which you can parse it and map to its target message type.
In general any mapping that is using XPATH/path for mapping will fail, only mapping that uses streams can be used. So you can use either ABAP or Java.
Thanks,
