Hi, I hope someone can shed light on this. I'm parsing an XML document that I've validated- it is well formed, and I'm getting this error: 'org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Document root element is missing' The xml is thus (I've stripped out everything but the root element, but the error is the same): <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <alert> </alert> I've read postings on problems with a byte order mark being inserted at the beginning of the file, but I've opened up the document in a couple of Unicode editors, and can't see anything there, and there's no whitespace before the xml declaration. Any ideas or advice greatly appreciated. Thanks Alan Eustace
