New to Java. Can you help with whit this (XML) ?

[Filoche Moe]

Hi all.

I'm new to Java (need to do something for my master) and I'm trying to learn how to manipulate XML.

Here's my code :

DOMParser parser;
Document doc;//Document element
Element root;//Root element

public int InitXML (String path)
{
parser = new DOMParser();

try
{
parser.parse(path);
doc = parser.getDocument();
root = doc.getDocumentElement();

}
catch (Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace(System.err);
System.out.println("XML error in file : " + path );
return 0;

}

return 1; //No error

When using :
parser.parse(path);
I got an error telling me that there whitespace in my shema (I use plain XML, no shema)

Tx for any info that could help me.
