Hi ALL,
sun.io.MalformedInputException at sun.io.ByteToCharUTF8.convert(ByteToCharUTF8.java: 262)

Just as the Exception tells you: your XML isn't well formed but what surprises me is that you get an Exception from the sun.io package; that is not supposed to happen. What XML parser are you using?

kind regards,

Jos

You are not having an XML problem, you are having a character encoding problem. The method is expecting, as far as I can tell, an array of bytes that represent valid UTF8 characters. If the input is not encoded in UTF8 but something else, such as ISO 8859-1, which is the Windows encoding, you can get this exception.

Make sure you know the encoding of your input document. Some text editors can modify the encoding; you might try changing the encoding to UTF8 and then saving.
