[jdom-interest] malformed URL exception exception in saxbuilder.build due to unreachable URL

[Rolf Lear]

Hi Cliff.

I think there's been some good pointers already, but just to make things 
crystal clear... can you perhaps post the relevant code snippet you are 
using to parse the document, and perhaps the first few lines of the 
actual XML too.

Also, does this problem happen with *all* xml documents (the first one), 
or with just some of them?

My guess is that Oliver has the right idea with parsing the wrong 
string.... remember that the SaxBuilder.build(String) method expects the 
String to be a URL, not the actual XML content..... YTour stack trace 
indicates you are calling this method...

See the code here:
https://github.com/hunterhacker/jdom/blob/jdom-1.x/core/src/java/org/jdom/input/SAXBuilder.java#L986

Anyway, seeing your code would help....

Rolf
