    Default Parsing error for UTF-16 file.

    I am using below code to parse a XML file -

    package com.kcs.xml;
     
    import java.io.File;
    import java.io.FileInputStream;
    import java.io.InputStream;
    import java.io.InputStreamReader;
    import java.io.Reader;
    import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder;
    import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory;
    import org.w3c.dom.Document;
    import org.xml.sax.InputSource;
     
    public class ParseXMLOld {
    	public static void main(String[] args) 
    	{
    		final String FILE_PATH="C:\\abc.xml";
    		File file=new File(FILE_PATH);
    		ParseXMLOld pxo=new ParseXMLOld();
    		pxo.parseUTFXML(file);
    	}
     
    	public Document parseUTFXML(File file) 
    	{
    		DocumentBuilderFactory docBuilderFactory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
    		DocumentBuilder docBuilder=null;
    		Document doc=null;
    		try {
    			docBuilder = docBuilderFactory.newDocumentBuilder();
    			InputStream inputStream= new FileInputStream(file);
    			Reader reader = new InputStreamReader(inputStream,"UTF-16");
    			InputSource is = new InputSource(reader);
    			is.setEncoding("UTF-16");
    			doc = docBuilder.parse(is);
    			System.out.println("Done");
    			} 
    		catch(Exception e)
    			{
    			e.printStackTrace();
    			}
    		finally
    			{
    			docBuilderFactory=null;
    			docBuilder=null;
    			}
    	return doc;
    	}
    }

    Below is my XML file -

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16"?>
      <Details>
        <Content>
          <id>1234ĄŁ€$˘</id>
          <Valid_From_Date>2013-01-01</Valid_From_Date>
          <Valid_To_Date>9999-12-31</Valid_To_Date>
          <Company>1210</Company>
          <Description>2nd Life Transaction</Description>
        </Content>
        <Totals>
          <Count>1</Count>
        </Totals>
    </Details>

    I am getting below error -

    [Fatal Error] :1:1: Content is not allowed in prolog.
    org.xml.sax.SAXParseException; lineNumber: 1; columnNumber: 1; Content is not allowed in prolog.
    at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.parsers.DOMPars er.parse(DOMParser.java:251)
    at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.jaxp.DocumentBu ilderImpl.parse(DocumentBuilderImpl.java:300)
    at com.kcs.xml.ParseXMLOld.parseUTFXML(ParseXMLOld.ja va:33)
    at com.kcs.xml.ParseXMLOld.main(ParseXMLOld.java:19)


    Please help me.

    Thanks,
    Kartic

    I think that this is really the wrong place to ask questions.

    I'm not sure what point you wish to make, but jps was nice enough to edit the post for them to add the tags.
