Title: RE: parsing an empty xml file

I get the following when I try to parse a 0 byte file using SAXPrint and SAXCount, Xerces 1.4, on NT4.0.

 

C:\Temp>saxprint c:\temp\empty.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="LATIN1"?>

 

Fatal Error at file c:\temp\empty.xml, line 1, char 1
  Message: The main XML document cannot be empty

I am using Xerces 1.4 on the Win98 platform.  I am using the SAX parser.

Which platform and which version of Xerces-C++ are you using?  I tried Xerces-C++ 1.6 on a number of platforms (linux, solaris, aix, hp, windows) and able to get the following message:

 > DOMCount empty.xml

Fatal Error at file /home/tng/buildtest/xerces-c_2001-11-29-AIX43_5.02/bin/empty.xml, line 2, char 1
  Message: The main XML document cannot be empty

Errors occured, no output available

Hi Guys,

Currently, if I attempt to parse an xml file which is empty (no tags, nothing), then I don't get an error back and Xerces is locked up.  Please help.

Thanks
