It could be due to various reasons ... I am drilling down such reasons ... although as Michael mentioned seeing your code will help to pin-point the root cause.
1. Did you create the file using copy-paste? Chances are that some invalid characters were introduced. 2. Make sure the XML declaration is at the very top without any preceding spaces. The XML prolog must be the first thing in the XML. No blank characters or lines should be there at the start of the file. I am hoping you can spot the issue in your ftl due to the above obvious reasons. If it is still not apparent, then please provide the source code.
