I am writing a program in Java that takes a custom
XML file and parses it. I'm using the
XML file for storage. I am getting the following error in Eclipse.
[Fatal Error] :1:1: Content is not allowed in prolog.
org.
xml.sax.SAXParseException: Content is not allowed in prolog.
at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.parsers.DOMParser.parse(DOMParser.java:239)

at me.ericso.psusoc.programs.RequirementSatisfierProgram.main(RequirementSatisfierProgram.java:23 )
The beginning of the
XML file is included:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<PSU>
<Major id="IST">
<name>Information Science and Technology</name>
<degree>B.S.</degree>
<option> Information Systems: Design and Development Option</option>
<requirements>
<firstlevel type="General_Education" credits="45">
<component type="Writing_Speaking">GWS</component>
<component type="Quantification">GQ</component>
The program is able to read in the
XML file but when I call DocumentBuilder.parse(XMLFile) to get a parsed org.w3c.dom.Document, I get the error above.
It doesn't seem to me that I have invalid content in the prolog of my
XML file. I can't figure out what is wrong. Please help. Thanks.
