Fatal error after comment

["Williamson, Siehnai" <sw...@docucorp.com>]

Hi Guys,

I keep getting a fatal error  "Expected comment or processing instruction".


The error occurs when comments exist after the root element in a file.   For
example, whenever the SAX parser parses the file below, it throws an error
at Line 7, Column 5 saying that a comment or processing instruction is
expected.  The comment is pulled in (as shown in the advance handler) but
the parser seems to have a problem with the element following the comment.
If the comment is BEFORE the root element, then all is well.  I couldn't
seem to find where having comments after the root is a violation of SAX
rules.  Is it, or is this simply a Xerces problem?
