XML Parser error Invalid Char

When using proxy to download data from ECC to XI -- XML parser throws this error --
com.sap.aii.utilxi.misc.api.BaseRuntimeException: Fatal Error: com.sap.engine.lib.xml.parser.ParserException: Invalid char #0x1a(:main:, row:1, col:50831067) at com.sap.aii.mappingtool.tf3.Transformer.checkParserException
Is there are setting to handle such hexadecimal charaters?
Right now the option is to use java code to scan this XML document for such char's and replace with space before message mapping....I am eager to know a better solution .Thanks

Hi,
Did you ever get an answer to this question?
I'm seeing a similar issue where ECC is sending an invalid character 0x13 in an XML message. I would have expected the adapter to encode this properly in an XML document.
Isn't this basic, foundational stuff? It's preparing and sending an invalid XML document.
What am I missing and/or what is ECC missing?

Xml parsing error: invalid character

We started receving below error while opening PDF forms in the browser , its started happening from today for several users. They were using IE and Adobe Reader 10.1
Any one saw this error before?
xml parsing error: invalid character number (error code 14), line 3 , column 264 of file....

We can see this issue only in Adobe Reader XI (11.0.01), X (10.1.5) And 9.5.3 in OS Win XP and 7.0. This happens only in IE. Fire Fox it works fine.
We rolled back to Adobe Reader 10.1.3 , works perfect.

WHAT IS THE FIX TO THIS ERROR: XML Parsing error: not well-formed (invalid token) (error code 4)

Hello, looking to see if there's anyone out there who knows how to resolve this error from popping up when I open a previously saved adobe file with data populated inside (tax form).
The error states:
XML Parsing error: not well-formed (invalid token) (error code 4), line 16028, column 2 of file.
So when I go to open this file, THAT ERROR appears. But then allows me to view the content inside the PDF (tax form) - however it will not allow further editing - this is an issue.
This began after working and populating certain files, then transferring to a hosting site. Now when I open any PDF file from the hosting site, the error appears. Could just be coincidental however throwing that out there in case it's useful.
What causes this error & what is the fix?
Cheers!

Unfortunately No. This was a tax form downloaded from IRS.gov. The PDF file has been populated and saved off. I believe the file has somehow become corrupt. Curious how to cleanse the file so it opens without issue (that error message).
Thanks for your response

XML Parsing error: not well-formed (invalid token) (error code 4) --- Urgent Help Needed!

Hi all, what im doing now is im trying to create a database connection my my MS SQL 2005 database. I created a data source and went to my Adobe Lifecycle Designer 7.1, i created a new data connection, selected OLEDB and created the connection string using the build function.
Ok, now the problem is, after creating the new data connection and i click on the preview tab, i will receive the error stated above.
'XML Parsing error: not well-formed (invalid token) (error code 4), line 444, column 1 of file'
Does anyone know why am i receiving this error and how do i go about solving this?
I need this database connection to pre-fill my form when the user downloads the form =(

I have a vital form that clients fill out, which is passed to many people in the company along the workflow. The form is a Planner and we have in the following PDF, Word Doc..
Well before, the Planner.pdf was originally created in Word, since most people have access to Word.. but evolved to a PDF form created from the Word Doc via Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8.0 w/ User Rights enabled so that the form could be filled out and saved using Adobe Reader.. which was a step better than Word.. being that it is free. But this needed to be easier and more to the point b/c some clients don't particularly like installing the latest version of Reader, even if you provide them the link. Nor do they like saving the form, filling the form, and attaching the form to send back.
My goal is to have the client fill an HTML version of the form, submit and be done with it, but everyone in the workflow be able to easily receive the filled Planner as a PDF form.
So some months ago I ran into this post Chris Trip, "Populate Livecycle PDF from mySQL database using PHP" #8, 22 Sep 2007 4:37 pm
which uses the command line Win32 pdftk.exe to merge an FDF file into an existing PDF on the remote server, and serve this to whoever.
My problem was with shared hosting and having the ability to use the Win32 pdftk.exe along with PHP which is predominantly used on Linux boxes. And we used a Linux box.
so i created the following unorthodox method, which a client fills the HTML version of the Planner, all field values are INSERTED into a table in MySQL DB, I and all filled planners that have been filled by clients to date can be viewed from a repository page where an XML file is served up of the corresponding client, but someone would have to have Acrobat Professional, to import the form data from the XML file into a blank form.. altoughh this is simple for me.. I have the PHP file already created so that when a Planner is filled and client submits. >> the an email is sent to me with a table row from the repository of the client name, #, email, and a link to d-load the XML file,
But I also have the PHP files created so that the Planner can be sent to by email to various people in the workflow with certain fileds ommitted they they do not need to see, but instead of the XML file beiong served up i need the filled PDF Planner to be served.
I can do this locally with ease on a testing server, but I am currently trying to use another host that uses cross-platform compatibility so i can use PHP and the pdftk.exe to achieve this, as that is why I am having to serve up an XML file b/c we use a Linux server for our website, and cant execute the exe.
Now that I am testing the other server (cross-platform host), just to use them to do the PDF handling (and it's only $5 per month) I am having problems with getting READ, WRITE, EXECUTE permissions..
Si guess a good question to ask is can PHP do the same procedure as the pdftk.exe, and i can eleminate it.
or how in the heck can i get this data from the DB into a blank PDF form, like i have described??

Adobe Designer 7.0 - XML parsing error when data connection to XML with UTF-16

Hi all
 
 I need to change my data connection xml file to use UTF-16 instead of ISO-8859-1. When I connect the file with the UTF-16 encoding, I receive the following error
 
 Invalid XML: Xml parsing error: encoding specified in XML declaration is incorrect (error code 19) ..
 
 The XML declaration is:
 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
 
 I am able to succesfully set the encoding to "UTF-8". UTF-16 should also be possible.
 
 Has anyone seen this error before ? How can I resolve this ?
 
 Thanks in advance
 
 Bilal Haniff

Thank you, expert, for your quick reply.
Described problem got solved: we noticed later that the extra text only appears for users using Adobe professional 7.0, 'normal' users with adobe 8.0 reader don't get the extra text, so that is ok for us.

XML Parser Error in bpel java exec code

hi,
When BPEL PM is loading processes from the deploy directory, the following exception is thrown. Any thoughts on why this XML error is being thrown ? Also, this problem is not consistently reproducible.

One more piece of information that may be relevant. There are 4 BPEL processes that are deployed (copied into deploy directory) that all have "NotifyFoo" java exec element. Is it that somehow some parser is seeing this "name" attribute "NotifyFoo" refered to in two processes as being used twice in the same process? Perhaps this is because the element is a Java code ?
Thanks,

Hi Alosh,
Thanks for the reply.
We are in process of upgrading Oracle Apps R11i into R12. This statement works fine in 11i but not working in R12. I think issue is not with -IN, -XSL and -OUT parameters.

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

I am recieving an xml parsing error message on a website I use for work. It used to work on firefox but now it has stopped. It works with other browsers though.

Please help me friends...

Hi Chandra,
Based on my research, the error message is only generated by FireFox when the render page is blank in Internet. For some reason, .NET generates a response type of "application/xml" when it creates an empty page. Firefox parses the file as XML and finding
no root element, spits out the error message.
Also, based on your description, the other sites are opened correctly, the issue only happened in Central Administration(CA). This means the SharePoint services are working fine.
Since this issue only occurred in the CA, it might be due the application pool for the CA is corrupted. Please try to restart the application pool for the CA to resove the issue:
1. Open Internet Information Service(IIS)
2. List the application pools
3. Select the application pool used for the CA
4. Stop it, and then start it again.
Note, if the application pool is running in Classic mode, please change it to be Integrated mode.
Additionally, I found a similar thread, which may help you too:

Hi All,
I have deployed EAR on my standalone server using JDEV 11.1.1.6.0. I am able to get the WSRP portlet producer page on
http://<server>:7001/contextRoot. But when i try to click on any of the WSDL URL it gives me "XML Parsing Error: no element found Line Number 1, Column 1:"
and from IE it gives me: XML document must have a top level element. Error processing resource
there can be a issue with the WSRPContainer.jar file. So i have remove it from my deployment profile, EAR and lib/classpath files.
Can you please suggest a workaround.

Edited by: ND on Dec 4, 2012 9:57 PM

Hi All,
this error normally comes when the WLS domain is not not properly created. if you get some exception for ./provesecurity.sh file while creating the domain, then the XML error comes.
I did not went into the depth but figured out a workaround: restart the VM/hosted box and then create the domain, remember to use diff port name while creating it from the domain creation script.

ND
