Hello,

We have faced RecoverableException rarely in a webservice scenario while processing the response. Need your guidance to understand and capture further details about the exception to resolve.

Environment: WMB - 8.0.0.2 in AIX 7.1 . Source: SAP, Target: .Net application.

ExceptionList:

We got to know about valid XML characters
Quote:
http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/REC-xml-20060816/#charsets
Char ::= #x9 | #xA | #xD | [#x20-#xD7FF] | [#xE000-#xFFFD] | [#x10000-#x10FFFF] /* any Unicode character, excluding the surrogate blocks, FFFE, and FFFF. */


Hence I believe 0x45 is not a invalid XML character, but as it is present in the prolog which is not expected, it is throwing error. Please correct me if I am wrong.

If possible, would you please guide me to find the reason why that character is present in prolog / how that character got inserted which is causing exception.

This is just "elevated" language... they could have also written "at the beginning of your (xml) file".

Before the root element (the single one root element of your xml) the only thing allowed is the "xml declaration"
(ok, and a BOM and MQMD, MQRFH2, and other things may be also, that get properly handled)

Everything else, especially some (random) characters is not allowed and will just be invalid xml (and cause an exception/rejection).

That's how xml works: The sending application must make sure to send valid xml...

... ofc... something may happen that your file gets "altered"/corrupted (at the beginning (or all over the place - just throwing the error at the beginning)) esp. when not using mq(-server)

The error specifically says:
Code:
org.apache.axiom.om.OMException: javax.xml.stream.XMLStreamException: An invalid XML character (Unicode: 0x45) was found in the prolog of the document.
This is an XML parser error. It is issued by the XML parser embedded in the JVM and called by the Axiom SOAP processing stack.

The most likely reason is that the XML parser has been told to use the wrong encoding. A quick Google search suggests that the parser is using UTF-16 when the XML document is actually encoded as UTF-8. Or maybe the other way around.

The environment is PROD. I do not have idea about the control, the target app is having. The the day, we received this error couple of time, may had network issue as well. Is there a way we can reproduce the same?
