In my experience XML parsers don't really treat whitespace consistently. The
best thing to do is to trim() any strings you get from the parser, unless of
course you need the whitespace.

2.0.0)
Hi Helene,
Thanks for your reply. You're right, on further testing, the problem is to
do with having a carriage return in the prim-key-class value. If I ensure
the entire prim-key-class entry is on a single line, there are no problems
with the placement of the comment.
However shouldn't your XML parser be tolerant of whitespace (including
carriage returns) in attribute values? I know that the XML parser in the
Caucho Resin servlet engine is, as our administrator here puts loads of
whitespace in the attribute values in our web.xml files, and Resin reads
them fine.
I know it's a minor point... :)

Hi Joe,
First of all, thank you very much for your interest to JOnAS.
I'm not sure this is a bug; but I'm not a XML expert !!!
Indeed the second example give the same error as the first one;
as well as the following example
<prim-key-class>
uk.org.rbgkew.sepasal.ejb.data.taxon.TaxonPK
</prim-key-class>
Indeed, in those tree examples, the 'enter' character is included
in the <prim-key-class> value.
On the other hand, the following example work fine
<prim-key-class><!--test trailin
comment-->uk.org.rbgkew.sepasal.ejb.data.taxon.TaxonPK</prim-key-class>
What do the XML experts think about that ??
Kind regards.
Helene.
