    I am getting this exception
    org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: An invalid XML character (Unicode: 0x1a) was found in the element content of the document.
    when parsing an XML document created using data retrieved from db2.
    Does anyone know what the problem might be?
    thank you

    I came across this problem a while ago, it was because the XML document that I was trying to parse contained a '&' character. I created a small validation function that replaced all of the &'s with '&' which fixed up the issue.

    I have not found this with any other characters (although I'm sure that there are more out there).

    HTH.

    I re-read your post and did a google on the 0x1a character. This is the control character SUB, I'm not sure what that's doing in there...

    Best of luck solving it.
