I think your problem is the so called Byte-Order-Mark(BOM). I've also found that some text editors will add a BOM (Byte-Order Mark) to UTF-8 files. Java expects the BOM on files with other encoding, but can get confused when it finds the UTF-8 BOM, and reports unknown content in the prolog. Switching to UTF-16 is one way to avoid the problem. Also try saving your file as utf-16 encoding and place this at the beginning of your xml file: <?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-16'?> and finally take a look at these links: http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?forumID=34&threadID=491010 http://www.i18ngurus.com/encyclopedia/byte_order_mark.html -- Regards, Petar! --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
