Exception

[Mary Cole]

Hi all,
Am building an XML and while paring thru JDOM am getting exception like this..So what might be the reason

org.jdom.JDOMException: Error in building: no protocol:
My XML is like this

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<MassC>
<AOptions>
<OOptions ALL="" UN="Y" CA="" US="Y" JP="" EU="" />
<TOptions address1="Y" />
</AOptions>
<TradeP>
<Reference>TP1</Reference>
<Reference>TradePPT</Reference>
</TradeP>
</MassC>

Sounds like the problem isn't with the XML but the instructions your code gives to the JDom parser. Could you post the piece of code telling the parser which document to parse?

I have built this XML using JDOM
and I convert this to a string and again pass it to JDOM
using the code below

SAXBuilder builder = new SAXBuilder();
org.jdom.Document jDomObj = builder.build(psXML);
And it throws that Exception after this line...
Pls reply urgently
pls Note-- am not using any DTD
Thx

I conver that XML into a string like this
StringBuffer loStringBuffer = new StringBuffer();
loStringBuffer.append("<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>");
loStringBuffer.append(xmlOutputter.outputString(eleM));

Where eleM is my root element( which is MassC)
Thx

Your problem is that you're trying to pass the XML document as a string into a method of which signature is build(java.lang.String systemId) and that causes the exception.
In other words, you need to do

mySaxBuilder.build(new java.io.StringReader("<?xml ..."));

instead of

mySaxBuilder.build("<?xml ...");
