How to test for JDOMExceptions in an XML file?

[Steve]

Hi;

I'm stuck occasionally making XML files that for various boring
reasons I can't test before putting it into production.

The last JDOMException I got complained about an extra (blank, I never
saw it ) line at the end of the file.

I tried running my XML file through the syntax checker at w3.org, but
it didn't catch it.

Is there a utility where I could feed my XML file into it and it would
check it as rigourously as the JDOM?

Thanks in advance

How many lines of Java code would it make to write such a tester using JDOM?

Just a thought.

That should not cause a parsing error. See the XML spec at
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/

[1] document ::= prolog element Misc*
[3] S ::= (#x20 | #x9 | #xD | #xA)+
[27] Misc ::= Comment | PI | S

In other words, an XML document can end with an arbitrary amount of
whitespace.
