org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Content is not allowed in trailing section

[boy22]

I'm trying to make an XMLDocument from a String with this information:

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><!DOCTYPE Report SYSTEM "Report.dtd">
<Report ><Person name="Jessey"><Date ="2007/1/2">
</Date ></Person ></Report >

This is the code used for creating the Document:

Code:

DocumentBuilderFactory documentBuilderFactory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder documentBuilder = documentBuilderFactory.newDocumentBuilder();
CharArrayReader characterStream = new CharArrayReader(xmlstring.toCharArray());
InputSource is = new InputSource(characterStream);
Document documentXML = documentBuilder.parse(is);

and this error appears:

Code:

org.xml.sax.SAXParseException:
 Content is not allowed in trailing section.

I don't know what is the problem.
do you?
thanks

try with xmlString.trim () and StringReader instead of the CharReader
