Thanks for your reply. I did not generate the XMI. It was provided to me in a file and I could not for the life of me figure out why it wasn't parsing. Only after I added the sofa="1" it deserialized perfectly.
So I figured I'd send a comment here to: 1) make it easier for others searching for this error message; 2) see if the community feels like it's worth changing the error message (so it's clearer) or the parsing code so that this is not an issue in the future (e.g. couldn't we assume sofa=1 when not specified?) Is CasCopier known to omit sofa=1 when generating XMI? I noticed you rewrote it for DKPro.
