[jdom-interest] Problem parsing a XML file

[Marko Lahma]

I have been having problems with parsing this XML file: 
http://www.finnkino.fi/xml/tampere.asp .

This file has finnish chars like a-umlaut and o-umlaut. These I change to 
'a' and 'o' on the fly to ensure it is not a language problem.

Next thing I do is make sure that the file doesn't start with empty line. 
After these things have been taken into account i save this xml data to 
file. IE and XMLWriter seem to both agree that is is valid XML data (as it 
was before changing letters and deleting first new line).

Then I try to load this from and parse it with JDOM-b6. I've tried both 
loading with FileReader and StringReader which reads from contructed 
String. Still I get the same error:

java -classpath ".;xerces.jar;jdom.jar" irssibot.modules.Movies

Any ideas?
