You just posted this question before where you had an error in your xml (double <<

.
I see you removed your extra character. Did you TRY to recompile or did you just remove the line in the stacktrace pointing to the first line in your xml?
Usually when you get xml parsing errors you will get a line and character location where it had problems.

Please do not ask the same question twice. Any further discussion of this problem will occur in the original topic.
