Like the others said.. it sounds like a starting element is not being found before either some text or an end tag. Usually you'll see that error with something like:
<node1> </node2> <node3> </node3> </node1> Or <node1> </node1> some text <node2> </node2> It ALSO depends on how you are moving thru the xml parser.. if you are using parser.next() you are moving one parsing element at a time, which means you'll find every possible element including text, tags,white space, etc. If you use parser.nextTag() you may skip over that 2nd example text issue and find node2 start tag.
