Hi,

I'm using Java 6.  I'm trying to parse some well-formed (or at least
that's what I thought) XML but am getting a "SAXParseException:
Premature end of file" exception (below).  The code I'm using is

		xml = xml.trim();
		final InputStream inputStream = new
ByteArrayInputStream(xml.getBytes());
		final DocumentBuilderFactory dbf =
DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
		final DocumentBuilder db = dbf.newDocumentBuilder();
		final Document doc = db.parse(xmlInputStream);

The block I'm trying to parse is below.  Can anyone see how it is mal-
formed?  Barring that, do you know a better way of parsing the string?

It worked for me.

No, this is not the code.  There's a syntax error: inputStream and 
xmlInputStream are being confused here, xmlInputStream is not declared.

Yes, there's a syntax error in the XML.  Construct a proper SSCCE to see it.

You mean a syntax error in the Java?  Ok, here it is ...

	public static com.myco.clearing.commons.xml.Node parse(String xml)
throws
			ParserConfigurationException, SAXException, IOException {
		xml =3D xml.trim();
		return parse(new ByteArrayInputStream(xml.getBytes()));
	}

	/**
	 *
	 * @param xml
	 * @return Parsed xml
	 * @throws XMLParseException
	 * @throws ParserConfigurationException
	 * @throws IOException
	 * @throws SAXException
	 */
	public static com.myco.clearing.commons.xml.Node parse(final
InputStream xmlInputStream)
			throws ParserConfigurationException,
			SAXException, IOException {

		final DocumentBuilderFactory dbf =3D
DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
		final DocumentBuilder db =3D dbf.newDocumentBuilder();
		final Document doc =3D db.parse(xmlInputStream);
		doc.getDocumentElement().normalize();

If you mean the XML, what is the XML syntax error or what tool can I
use to see it? - Dave

Don't do this.

Instead:

db.parse( new InputSource( new StringReader(xml) ) );

DF.
Determinism trumps correctness.

DO NOT POST CODE USING TAB AS AN INDENTATION CHARACTER!

Bad!

Encoding?

Where is 'xml'?

> 	 * @return Parsed xml

What is the definition of 'Parsed'?

> 	 * @throws XMLParseException

No, it doesn't.

Is there a newline at the end of your XML?
