[jdom-interest] JDOM Exception: invalid XML character (Unicode: 0xb) found

[Charlie Wu]

Hi all:

Please help me with this.. I've spent 2 days on this with no success. here's
my problem:

I run a java program that querys a remote server and stores the result in an
XML file
with encoding set to UTF-8. (I also tried ISO-8859-1 with no success)

The XML loads fine in XML spy without any complaints for illegal characters
(if I set
the encoding in the XML header to ISO-8859-1 XML spy would warn about
characters
not present in the ISO-8859-1 encoding)

Then I run another java program that trys to use the SAXBuilder to build
this .. and
that's where I get the error as followed below.

I have searched the jdom archive and read the FAQ.. but still couldn't get
it correct :(

Can someone please give me a hand?

Thanks a million

Charlie
