Can't parse XML data
I'm receiving an XML document over a TCP socket, I then instantiate an instance of DOMParser and attempt to parse the data. Here's the exception:
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: An invalid XML character (Unicode: 0x0) was found in markup after the end of the element content.

at org.apache.xerces.framework.XMLDocumentScanner.parseSome(XMLDocumentScanner.java:381)
at org.apache.xerces.framework.XMLParser.parse(XMLParser.java:1098)
Here's the relevant snippet(s) of source (there is code to write out the socket, but I didn't include that)
Socket socket =new Socket( hostIP, hostPort );
OutputStream outStream = socket.getOutputStream();
InputStream inStream = socket.getInputStream();
DataInputStream dataInStream =new DataInputStream( inStream );
byte[] inByteArray =newbyte[ 2048 ];
int length = dataInStream.read( inByteArray );
InputStream byteData =new ByteArrayInputStream( inByteArray );
try
{
DOMParser dp =new DOMParser();
dp.parse(new InputSource( byteData ));
Document doc = dp.getDocument();
}
catch ( Exception e )
{
e.printStackTrace();
System.exit( 1 );
}
Is there a different way to do this? I even tried creating a new String based on the length read from the socket, minus one. The parser then saw that the final angle bracket of my root element was missing, so it doesn't seem to be an encoding issue.
Any help would be appreciated.
