How to remove BOM - Byte Order Mark?

Venkatesh RamasamyOct 18 2012 — edited Dec 19 2012

Hello,

I have a question regarding BOM Byte-Order-Mark, How can we remove the BOM from the Inbound XML file? The XML looks normal in any XML Editor, when opened in JDeveloper, there is a "." in front of the XML. Like this,".<p:BatchUpdate" notice the dot as the first character.

The trading partner is sending an XML file which has a BOM as the first Character, so the file is not identified as an XML file and the process fails with the error "Error -: B2B-50029: B2B runtime error: oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLParseException: Start of root element expected.". The partner has made several attempts to remove the BOM from there end.

Is there a way where the BOM can be removed by B2B or BPEL before processing the file?

Thanks,
Venkatesh
