Java EE (Java Enterprise Edition) General Discussion

Hi folks,

I'm using the SAX parser to parse a small xml file. If I use that file in IE, there its parsing correctly and displaying the xml in the tree structure.

But in my Java code its throwing

org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: An invalid XML character (Unicode: 0x0) was found in the prolog of the document.

The xml parsing code of my program is

XMLReader parser = XMLReaderFactory.createXMLReader(
"org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser");
HelpPartHandler hp = new HelpPartHandler();
parser.setContentHandler(hp);
RandomAccessFile raf = new RandomAccessFile("sample.xml","r");
byte Contents[] = new byte[(int)raf.length()];
StringReader sr = new StringReader(new String(Contents));
InputSource is = new InputSource(sr);
parser.parse(is);

The xml file is

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<ROOT>
<NODE> Java </NODE>
</ROOT>

Please let me know the mistakes what I have done. Looking for the reply.

Thanks in Advance
Prabu
