Document root element is missing

[Jim Kennedy]

I am trying to parse a pretty simple xml document.  Here it is:

?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8?
leasedocuments
company name=PEOPLESGAS contract=00199
masterlease
image name=Master Lease .pdf visible=true/
image name=Certificate of Insurance.pdf visible=false/
image name=Certificate of Authority.pdf visible=false/
image name=Amendment.pdf visible=false/

/schedule
/company
/leasedocuments


Here's the JSP code:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] uri=/WEB-INF/x.tld prefix=x %
[EMAIL PROTECTED] uri=/WEB-INF/c.tld prefix=c %
[EMAIL PROTECTED] uri=/WEB-INF/taglibs-log.tld prefix=log %

h1#151;#151;#151;nbsp;Leased Documentsnbsp;#151;#151;#151;/h1 

x:parse xml=xmldoc_string var=document/

x:out select=count($document//company) /


Nothing much to this.  The error occurs at runtime.

This tag will attempt to parse the literal string xmldoc_string, which
explains the Document root element is missing message.  Instead, you'll
need to refer to this string (assuming it's stored as a scoped variable or
something similar) with an EL expression.  In other words, if you've
called it 'xmldoc_string' in one of the scopes, then

  x:parse xml=${xmldoc_string} var=document/

should work.
