Invalid XML character (Unicode: 0x0)
fop-users,
How can I resolve this? Is there a way on Solaris to search and replace
0000x0 characters. This is an XSLT question, I am asking here because it is
part of my FOP process before the file is translated to fo and then a PDF.
The file saved as UTF-8 contains Chinese characters. I go to that location,
and there is no null character there! I can replace spaces before the
location with   and this seems to move the message to a new location.
No pattern has emerged yet.
/usr/local/FOP/xalan.sh -v
>>>>>>> Xalan Version Xalan Java 2.2.D11, <<<<<<<
/usr/local/FOP/xalan.sh -in maporder2153450ZHSS.xml -XSL ZHrsShip_data.xsl
-out tmp2.xml
[Fatal Error] ZHrsShip_data.xsl:420:95: An invalid XML character (Unicode:
0x0) was found in the element content of the document.
file:///XMLFOP/rsship/ZHrsShip_data.xsl; Line 420; Column 95; XSLT Error
(javax.xml.transform.TransformerConfigurationException):
javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: An
invalid XML character (Unicode: 0x0) was found in the element content of the
document.
ZHrsShip_data.xsl file available on request.
I appreciate your time and help.
Thank you very much.

If you look at the file using a text editor, it's likely you wont
see NUL characters.
Try a hex editor, or one of the character analyzation tools
like
http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~wjposer/unidesc.html
or a character encoding translator which should give you a
byte offset for the problem position.
I'd also check whether your editor has known bugs WRT saving
files in UTF-8.

Mike & J.Pietschmann,
Thank you for your help. J. was right, the editor I use had botched the
file. I used babelpad which showed the corruption. I fixed the text and it
runs now.
Thank you.

Greg S.,
Those line numbers in this case (of an illegal character) are
approximations.
I would suggest that you save your original document.
Use a copy of your document.
Cut the first 100 lines. (It has to be well formed of course.) Send it
through.
Keep going until your are close to the error.
If you can take the short cut, then get a freeware unicode aware program to
check your document. I use babelpad.
Open the document in Babelpad.
Tools>Document analysis
This will give you a line and position that is exact.
You can do this alot of ways, but these are my suggestions. I assume that
you have your encodings correct in your stylesheet for output UTF-8.
