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

[Charlie Wu]

By the way, I created the XML file using UTF-8 encoding.. the code snippet
is pasted here:

// Get response data.

    InputStreamReader ir = new InputStreamReader(connection.getInputStream
(), "UTF8");
	BufferedReader d
          = new BufferedReader(ir);

    String str;
//     System.out.println (ir.getEncoding());


   Writer out1 = new OutputStreamWriter(System.out, "UTF8");
   out1.write("<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>\n");

    while (null != ((str = d.readLine())))
    {

	out1.write(str);
	out1.write("\n");

    //    System.out.println (str);

    }
	d.close();
    out1.flush();
    out1.close();

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
