org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Content is not allowed in prolog
I have a Java based web service client connected to Java web service (implemented on the Axis1 framework).
I am getting following exception in my log file:
Caused by: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Content is not allowed in prolog.

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.
Another thing that often happens is a UTF-8 BOM (byte order mark), which is allowed before the XML declaration can be treated as whitespace if the document is handed as a stream of characters to an XML parser rather than as a stream of bytes.
The same can happen if schema files (.xsd) are used to validate the xml file and one of the schema files has an UTF-8 BOM .
Try adding a space between the encoding="UTF-8" string in the prolog and the terminating ?> . In XML the prolog designates this bracket-question mark delimited element at the start of the document (while the tag prolog in stackoverflow refers to the programming language).
Added: Is that dash in front of your prolog part of the document? That would be the error there, having data in front of the prolog, -<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> .
Actually in addition to Yuriy Zubarev's Post
When you pass a nonexistent xml file to parser. For example you pass
new File("C:/temp/abc")
when only C:/temp/abc.xml file exists on your file system
In either case
builder = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance().newDocumentBuilder();
document = builder.parse(new File("C:/temp/abc"));
or
DOMParser parser = new DOMParser();
parser.parse("file:C:/temp/abc");
All give the same error message.
Very disappointing bug, because the following trace
javax.servlet.ServletException
at org.apache.xerces.parsers.DOMParser.parse(Unknown Source)
...
Caused by: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Content is not allowed in prolog.
... 40 more
doesn't say anything about the fact of 'file name is incorrect' or 'such a file does not exist'. In my case I had absolutely correct xml file and had to spent 2 days to determine the real problem.
