I would like to add root element to my xml string and then parse the data.
I have not well formatted xml string which throws an exception while parsing, So i would like to add root element to my xml string and then send it to Document doc = dBuilder.parse( iSource );
for parsing. So can anyone suggest me how to go about it ?
Error:
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: The markup in the document following the root element must be well-formed.
at org.apache.xerces.parsers.DOMParser.parse(Unknown Source)
at org.apache.xerces.jaxp.DocumentBuilderImpl.parse(Unknown Source)
xml string:
System.out.println(StdOut );
prints as below
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<transaction id="1">
<header>
<method>Agent007</method>
<subclass>ERROR</subclass>
</header>
<data>

<errortext>There are no Integration Services </errortext>

code i used:

{

try

InputSource iSource = new InputSource();
iSource.setCharacterStream( new StringReader( StdOut ) );

NodeList subClassNode = doc.getElementsByTagName( "subclass" );
Element element = (Element) subClassNode.item( 0 );
if ( getCharacterDataFromElement( element ).equalsIgnoreCase( "ERROR" ) )
{
System.out.println( " getCharacterDataFromElement( element ) : "
+ getCharacterDataFromElement( element ) );
NodeList dataNode = doc.getElementsByTagName( "data" );
