The "Content is not allowed in prolog" is caused when there is the BOM - Byte Order Mark character before the prolog <?xml ... The BOM characters are 3 hexadecimal characters EF BB BF, and are invisible in editors like Notepad, Eclipse etc. When you are debugging your XML file you will need a Hex editor to see if the 3 characters are still being generated. The "Content is not allowed in prolog" error also occurs if your code is unable to locate an XML or XSL file, either because it is misspelled, or not present in the directory etc. -Rashmi ----- Original Message ---- From: JV <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Tomcat Users List <users@tomcat.apache.org> Sent: Saturday, January 20, 2007 2:39:03 PM Subject: Re: Change the encoding format of xml outpu Hi Sarah, Have you included this in the page-code? <%@ page contentType="application/xml" %> JV Op 20 jan 2007, om 20:19 heeft Sarah Parrott het volgende geschreven: > Hi, > > I'm using Tomcat 5.5 from within eclipse, and using java code to > create and > save a new xml document on the server.
