this means ADB parser has encountered an in valid element. The reason for
this most of the time is the request
does not contain a requried element value.

eg lets take this element
<xsd:element name="TestElement">
        <xsd:complexType>
            <xsd:sequence>
                <xsd:element name="param1" type="xsd:string"/>
                <xsd:element name="param2" type="xsd:string"/>
            </xsd:sequence>
        </xsd:complexType>
    </xsd:element>

here both param1 and param2 are requried elements since they have the
default minOccurs=1 value.
a valid request for this elements is
<TestElement>
        <param1>test</param1>
        <param2>test</param2>
    </TestElement>

but if it receives a reqeust without param1 i.e.
<TestElement>
        <param2>test</param2>
</TestElement>

Now after reading TestElement adb parser expects the param1 since it is a
required element. but it gets param2 which is an unexpected element.

So it throws an excpetion saying unexcpeted subelement param2.

To debug this first locate the CategoryID and check it has received the
correct element before that.

You can use the -Eosv option to let adb thinks every element is optional.

Amila.
