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"/>
</masterlease>
<schedule number="01">
<!-- This is section 1 -->
<image name="File Notes.pdf" visible="true"/>
<image name="Lease Application.pdf" visible="true"/>
<image name="Lease Order-Equipment Schedule.pdf" visible="true"/>
<image name="Equipment Addendum.pdf" visible="true"/>
<image name="Addendum to LO-ES.pdf" visible="true"/>
<image name="D &amp; A-Certificate of Acceptance.pdf" visible="true"/>
<!-- This is section 2 -->
<image name="Transaction Summary Sheet.pdf" visible="true"/>
<image name="Checks.pdf" visible="true"/>
<image name="Invoices.pdf" visible="true"/>
<image name="PO's.pdf" visible="true"/>
<image name="Equipment Backup.pdf" visible="true"/>
<!-- This is section 3 -->
<image name="Copies of Loan Documentation.pdf" visible="true"/>
<image name="Cover Documentation.pdf" visible="true"/>
<image name="Loan Calculations.pdf" visible="false"/>
<!-- This is section 4 -->
<image name="Insurance Certificate.pdf" visible="true"/>
<image name="Voided Lease Documentation.pdf" visible="true"/>
<image name="FASB 13 Test.pdf" visible="false"/>
</schedule>
<schedule number="02">
<!-- This is section 1 -->
<image name="File Notes.pdf" visible="true"/>
<image name="Lease Application.pdf" visible="true"/>
<image name="Lease Order-Equipment Schedule.pdf" visible="true"/>
<image name="Equipment Addendum.pdf" visible="true"/>
<image name="Addendum to LO-ES.pdf" visible="true"/>
<image name="D &amp; A-Certificate of Acceptance.pdf" visible="true"/>
<!-- This is section 2 -->
<image name="Transaction Summary Sheet.pdf" visible="true"/>
<image name="Checks.pdf" visible="true"/>
<image name="Invoices.pdf" visible="true"/>
<image name="PO's.pdf" visible="true"/>
<image name="Equipment Backup.pdf" visible="true"/>
<!-- This is section 3 -->
<image name="Copies of Loan Documentation.pdf" visible="true"/>
<image name="Cover Documentation.pdf" visible="true"/>

<image name="Insurance Certificate.pdf" visible="true"/>
<image name="Voided Lease Documentation.pdf" visible="true"/>
<image name="FASB 13 Test.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 Documents&nbsp;&#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.
