Spending a lots of hour while (open xml in OpenOffice find the reason like Name :Arun but when check in OpenOffice it's look like Aru#n content some junk character) finally get solution first read all xml content using BufferedReader and do this :-

String lineReader =" ";
while((lineReader = bufferedReader.readLine()) != null){
  lineReader = lineReader.replaceAll("[^\\x20-\\x7e]", "");
  buffer.append(l);
  }

Now create a temporary xml file and write buffer all content. Then read temp.xml now everything goes very well.Check it here valid or invalid character in xml

Hope this will help you :)

com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.impl.io.MalformedByteSequenceException: Invalid byte 1 of 1-byte UTF-8 sequence.

while reading another xml file using smb jcifs. Here i am refer this example read .xml file using smb jcifs . Xml contain some UTF-8 characters inside a XML file, and parser is not configure to parse the UTF-8 properly, characters like copyright , reserve etc. Throw an exception :-

To read content in UTF-8 format modify input source :-

SmbConnect.java class found Here Do some modification :-

Change this code :-

InputStream inputStream = sFile.getInputStream();
    DocumentBuilderFactory dbFactory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
    DocumentBuilder dBuilder = dbFactory.newDocumentBuilder();
    Document doc = dBuilder.parse(inputStream);

to This

InputStream stream = new SmbFileInputStream(fXmlFile);
  Reader reader = new InputStreamReader(stream);
  InputSource inputSource = new InputSource(reader);
  inputSource.setEncoding("UTF-8"); // set UTF-8 character encoding 

  DocumentBuilderFactory dbFactory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
  DocumentBuilder dBuilder = dbFactory.newDocumentBuilder();
  Document doc = dBuilder.parse(inputSource);

Now Everything is working fine hope this help you :)

When i am reading a hundred of .xml file using a thread , getting this error ([Fatal Error] :1:1: Premature end of file.)
i am google to known try few other correction (like close InputStream , Reset ) but getting again & again .When i try to
know the reason check my first test.xml file it's empty & create error here i am check file size (fXmlFile.length()>0) everything
works fine.

Hope this help you and save your some time :)
