Hi,

I've looked through everything that I can find and can't seem to come up
with a solution to this issue.

I'm running a jsp within Resin 2.0 containing the following code with the
dom4j-full.jar in the WEB-INF/lib directory:

        SAXReader reader = new SAXReader();
        Document doc = reader.read(new File(ENGLISH_STAGING_FILE));

Now ENGLISH_STAGING_FILE is
"T:\\Dev\\WORKAREA\\britchie_wa\\xml\\english\\content\\publishing.xml"
which exists and is readable just fine, as well as being perfectly valid
xml.

DOM4J however just doesn't seem to like this, and throws the following
error:

org.dom4j.DocumentException:
T:\Dev\WORKAREA\britchie_wa\xml\english\content\publishing.xml:1:
XML file has no top-element.  All well-formed XML files have a single
top-level
element. Nested exception:
T:\Dev\WORKAREA\britchie_wa\xml\english\content\publishing.xml:1:
XML file has no top-element.  All well-formed XML files have a single
top-level
element.
        at org.dom4j.io.SAXReader.read(SAXReader.java:321)
        at org.dom4j.io.SAXReader.read(SAXReader.java:219)
        at
_publishingmenu__jsp._jspService(C:\a_htdocs\publishinginterface\publishingM
enu.jsp:25)
        <snip resin portion of stack trace>

Now this is utter bull, the file is fine and can be read just fine by JDOM
(which I was previously using) as well as syntatically correct according to
xml spy.


Anyone have any ideas as to what the problem could be?


Regards,

Bruce Ritchie
