org xml sax SAXParseException How to handle this exception

Question

I have a Java based web service client connected to Java web service. But when I am trying to run the application, I am getting org.xml.sax.SAXParseException. How can we handle this exception?

Answer 1

This is often caused by a white space before the XML declaration, but it could be any text, like a dash or any character. I say often caused by white space because people assume white space is always ignorable, but that's not the case here.
