XML parsing without startelement

[An Ony]

Hi,

I'm looking at the examples on http://java.sun.com/xml/jaxp/dist/1....x/2a_echo.html

I want to parse an XML file that has just events, like this:
==>start of file
<event type="1"/>
<event type="2"/>
<method type="warning"/>
<===end of file

so there are no <start> and </start> -tags.
Using the examples on that java site I get the following fatal error:

org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Illegal character at end of document, &#x3c;.
at org.apache.crimson.parser.Parser2.fatal(Unknown Source)
at org.apache.crimson.parser.Parser2.fatal(Unknown Source)
at org.apache.crimson.parser.Parser2.parseInternal(Un known Source)
at org.apache.crimson.parser.Parser2.parse(Unknown Source)
at org.apache.crimson.parser.XMLReaderImpl.parse(Unkn own Source)
at javax.xml.parsers.SAXParser.parse(Unknown Source)
at javax.xml.parsers.SAXParser.parse(Unknown Source)

It should be possible, right?

No, that is not an XML file. You will need to reformat or wrap the bytes in
a faked document element node.
