XMLStreamException : Message: Content is not allowed in prolog

[nakata77fr]

Hi,

I have a problem when i want to read xml file on UTF8 with StaxEventItemReader on unix environment. This is my log:

Caused by: org.springframework.dao.DataAccessResourceFailureE xception: Error while reading from event reader; nested exception is javax.xml.stream.XMLStreamException: ParseError at [row,col]:[1,1]
Message: Content is not allowed in prolog.

At first time, i thought it's on my xml file.

Maybe there is a Byte Order Mark at the beginning xml file but not. I used the command line to delete BOM:
awk '{if(NR==1)sub(/^\xef\xbb\xbf/,"");print}' INFILE > OUTFILE
and i have the same error.

Remark:
On eclipse environment, it's worked.

I don't have any idea. Can you help me

It sounds like you have some unwanted characters (most probably the BOM) in your xml file. To verify this, I suggest you manually create a simple XML file that resembles your actual input. Then use your reader to read the new XML file.
