org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Premature end of file

[laredotornado]

Hi,

I'm using Java 6. I'm trying to parse some well-formed (or at least
that's what I thought) XML but am getting a "SAXParseException:
Premature end of file" exception (below). The code I'm using is

xml = xml.trim();
final InputStream inputStream = new
ByteArrayInputStream(xml.getBytes());
final DocumentBuilderFactory dbf =
DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
final DocumentBuilder db = dbf.newDocumentBuilder();
final Document doc = db.parse(xmlInputStream);

The block I'm trying to parse is below. Can anyone see how it is mal-
formed? Barring that, do you know a better way of parsing the string?

<div class="">
<label
for="id417474726962757465205b6e616d653d6e616d652c2076616c75653d4c697374696e672052756c652c20706172656e744e6f64653d546578744e6f6465205b746578743d6e756c6c2c20444e6f64653d444e6f6465205b69643d305d5d5d">400</

Premature end of file" exception (below). The code I'm using is

No, this is not the code. There's a syntax error: inputStream and
xmlInputStream are being confused here, xmlInputStream is not declared.

Yes, there's a syntax error in the XML. Construct a proper SSCCE to see it.

You mean a syntax error in the Java? Ok, here it is ...

public static com.myco.clearing.commons.xml.Node parse(String xml)
throws
ParserConfigurationException, SAXException, IOException {
xml = xml.trim();
return parse(new ByteArrayInputStream(xml.getBytes()));
}

/**
*
* @param xml
* @return Parsed xml
* @throws XMLParseException
* @throws ParserConfigurationException
* @throws IOException
* @throws SAXException
*/
public static com.myco.clearing.commons.xml.Node parse(final
InputStream xmlInputStream)
throws ParserConfigurationException,
SAXException, IOException {

final DocumentBuilderFactory dbf =
DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
final DocumentBuilder db = dbf.newDocumentBuilder();
final Document doc = db.parse(xmlInputStream);
doc.getDocumentElement().normalize();

If you mean the XML, what is the XML syntax error or what tool can I
use to see it? - Dave

DO NOT POST CODE USING TAB AS AN INDENTATION CHARACTER!

Bad!

Is there a newline at the end of your XML?

Don't do this.

Instead:

db.parse( new InputSource( new StringReader(xml) ) );
