Hi,

I am using XDoclet with the use of a merge file called “assembly-descriptor.xml”. However I keep getting the following error:

The markup in the document following the root element must be well-formed.

The contents of the this small file:

    <!-- 
    security roles 
    -->
    <security-role>
        <description>
            customer users
        </description>
        <role-name>user</role-name>
    </security-role>

    <security-role>
        <description>
            System operator - member of the site's stuff
        </description>
        <role-name>sysop</role-name>
    </security-role>

    <security-role>
        <description>
            This role includes all system administrators who are 
            authorized to manage any part of the system.
        </description>
        <role-name>admin</role-name>
    </security-role>

What to do?

Thanks,

Erez,
You can turn off automatic XML validation (Window > Prefs > MyEclipse > Validation) for XML files. Unfortunately XDoclet uses the .xml extension for all its files, including incomplete/invalid XML documents. The validator in MyEclipse has no way of knowing this so when it goes to validate these partial files, it complains about them. You simply just need to turn off automatic validation so the validator doesn’t try to validate them at all.

I understand and that is what I did.
I assume I am not the only XDoclet user and so this would mean that we are loosing functionality here,
isn’t there anything we could do?

Yes definately, there is a filed enhancement to be able to ‘earmark’ certain files to ignore for validation… in this case you’d able to mark your XDoclet files to have the validator ignore them. No ETA for it yet though.
