[dom4j-dev] Problem parsing from URL

[Shuaib Karim]

Hi,
In my java code, i am trying to read the web page from a url. The url points 
to a linux directory containing some xml files. In short, i am trying to 
read the directory via url, for further processing.

I use the following code :
public Document parse(URL url) throws DocumentException {
       SAXReader reader = new SAXReader();
       Document document = reader.read(url);
       return document;
}
The url is initialized to http://storm.ifs.tuwien.ac.at:8080/msgstore/
I get the error  "org.dom4j.DocumentException:Error on line 11 of document 
http://storm.ifs.tuwien.ac.at:8080/msgstore/: The entity "nbsp" was 
referenced, but not declared. The entity "nbsp" was referenced, but not 
declared."

Of course "nbsp" is used inside the page source. But the page is 
automatically generated by apache tomcat upon accessing the url.

How to handle this problem. Should i use some other parser.
- I also successfully read the same page (line by line) by 
java.io.BufferedReader method. But to futher parse it by dom4j the root 
element is inaccessible (it has null value).

Thanks for your help.
Regards,
Shuaib
