[jdom-interest] Using a reader to get XML problems

[TassoA at trustmarque.ca]

Hi I wrote a small client server application.

The client application send XML data using a buffered writter.
And the server application receives the data using a bufferedreader.

But some how I can get it to parse the data I get exceptions.

<?xml version='1.0'?>

<Merchant>
<ID>100000</ID>
<Username>uk</Username>
<Password>uktest2</Password>
</Merchant>
