org.xml.sax.SAXParseException with XmlSlurper

[Andrew Myers <am...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

For a while I've been using groovy to parse some badly formed HTML via 
XmlSlurper in conjunction with TagSoup, something like this:

def slurper = new XmlSlurper(new org.ccil.cowan.tagsoup.Parser())
def html = slurper.parseText(htmlText)

It works fine when I unit test it with Gradle, but I've tried to deploy 
this inside another webapp which runs on Lucee (http://lucee.org/) but I 
think I'm running into some kind of "Jar hell".  When I try to parse the 
htmlText, I get an error like this which makes me think it's not using 
the tagsoup Parser

The exception is: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException, with a stracktrace 
starting like this:

The element type "meta" must be terminated by the matching end-tag 
"</meta>". at org.apache.xerces.parsers.AbstractSAXParser.parse(Unknown

I'm a bit lost as to what to look for to debug this.  Has anyone come 
across anything similar?

Thanks!
Andrew.

Oops, I have found the problem.  I was looking at the wrong bit of code, 
and at the part where it's failing I was parsing XML *without* TagSoup, 
and it appears that the service I was calling was returning a HTML error 
page.

Sorry to waste your time :)
