[jdom-interest] JDOMException

[Gregory S. Hill]

Okay folks.  I've been lurking long enough.  Now it's time to pick some
brains.  I'm feel particularly stupid, right now.  Any help would be
most appreciated.

I've got the following XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Chart type="bar">
    <ChartSize width="400" height="400" />
    <ChartFormat graphType="ROWS" layout="VERTICAL" 3DDepth="10"
width="30" stackLabel="ITEM" />

    <DataSet name="set1" color="red" type="BAR" xAxis="BOTTOM"
yAxis="LEFT">5,10,15,20,25</DataSet>
    <DataSet name="set2" color="yellow">10,20,30,40,50</DataSet>
</Chart>

When I try to load this xml into my java program (using 'Document doc =
builder.build (new File (datasource));'), I get the following exception:

EXCEPTION: org.jdom.JDOMException: Element type "ChartFormat" must be

Am I missing something really stupid with my XML code?  Line 4 seems
pretty straight forward to me, but I still consider myself a neophyte in
the XML world.

I've tried this with both beta 5 and beta 4.  No glory either way.

tia,
