Friends,

I have just got an annoying issue, which is really irritating. The issue is

I working with a application, when i try to do any operation, i have end up with this exception . The Comlpete exception trace are

org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Document root element is missing.

Another information is , this is occuring only when i'm using jdk1.5.0_01 and thre is no problem when using jdk1.4.2, no exception.

I'm using jdk1.5.0_01, using an applet client, please help me to solve this problem.

Expecting a positive reply from you guys,

Regards
Sam

Is the xml well formed? Also there could be invisible ASCII characters before the <?XML ...> tag. Some text editors (Notepad) have been known to do this.
