Hi Michael,
thanks for the reply. I am quite sure there isn't an error earlier in the
file. The error message provided by both versions of Xerces is the same. The
XML structure has this opening sequence:
<Letters>
<dataset type="sample" effdate="2002-10-01">
<channel channeldest="PDF"/>
<customer>
<name>
There are several dataset elements with a complex structure which are all
well formed until later in the XML we have:
</customer>
</dataset>
<name>
So the opening dataset and customer elements are missing. Xerces reports the
error
The element type "Letters" must be terminated by the matching end-tag
"</Letters>".
which is clearly referring to the root element. Maybe thats why the newer
version stops at the opening tag of the root element, but the well formness
problem is much later in the file.
Thanks,
Chris
