( mb8broker.default ) an xml parsing error ''an invalid xml character (unicode: 0x2229) was found in the prolog of the document.'' occurred on line 1 column 1 when parsing element ''/root/xmlnsc''.
1. A character that is not supported by XML occurs in the instance message data.
XML supports only a subset of control characters; therefore, ensure that no unsupported characters, such as X'00', appear in the document.
2. The Coded Character Set ID that is defined in the message header does not reflect the contents of the instance message.
If the XML document has an XML prologue, the WebSphere MQ CodedCharSetId should be consistent with the XML Encoding field.
3. A reserved XML character appears in the instance message data.
Characters that might be recognized as XML markup - for example, < and & - should be replaced with the corresponding XML entities - < and &.
I imported an XSD thru Message Model Wizard.
the XSD & XML file conforms to each other. not sure why im getting this error.
Same XSD & XML file i've used with success in other non WMB applications
have you guys seen this before?
Message Broker version 8.im Very new to WMB. |

Yes, the last time a junk character was delivered to the WMB parser. Double check what you're actually getting.
Also check that the CCSID associated with the data is actually the CCSID in which the message is written.

If the XML has worked with other parsers then check for Byte order mark. Sometimes it appears at the begining of the XML and some parsers have problems with it while others are able to deal with it. i.e. if you open the XML in XML spy or rfhutil, you will not see the Byte order mark unless you view it as HEX.

Yes after checking with HEX editor i was able to see the beginning chars which were throwing this off.
The same message works with MS Biztalk XML Parser.
Thanks for prompt responses.
This is SOLVED!! i would mark Thanks for both of you (wbi_telecom & Vitor) if there was an Option on the forum. |

I believe windows issues a byte order information and this does change the actual CCSID.

That explains quite a lot. I've seen Biztalk emit XML that can't be parsed by anything apart from Biztalk itself. This was several years ago so maybe they have made it a bit more standards conformant but somehow I doubt it.

Every time you reinvent the wheel the more square it gets (anon). If in doubt think and investigate before you ask silly questions. |
