Error: The processing instruction target matching

问题:

The error in the title occurs whenever I run an XSLT page that begins as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1256"?> 
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
  <xsl:include href="../header.xsl"/>
  <xsl:template match="/">
    <xsl:call-template name="pstyle"/>
    <xsl:call-template name="Validation"/>
    <xsl:variable name="strLang">
      <xsl:value-of select="//lang"/>
    </xsl:variable>
    <!-- ////////////// Page Title ///////////// -->
    <title>
        <xsl:value-of select="//ListStudentFinishedExam.Title"/>
    </title>

Note: I removed any leading spaces before the first line, but the error still occurs!

Xerces-based tools will emit the following error

The processing instruction target matching "[xX][mM][lL]" is not allowed.

when an XML declaration is encountered anywhere other than at the top of an XML file.

This is a valid diagnostic message; other XML parsers should issue a similar error message in this situation.

To correct the problem, check the following possibilities:

1. Some blank space or other visible content exists before the <?xml ?> declaration.

   Resolution: remove blank space or any other visible content before the XML declaration.

2. Some invisible content exists before the <?xml ?> declaration. Most commonly this is a Byte Order Mark (BOM).

   Resolution: Remove the BOM using techniques such as those suggested by the W3C page on the BOM in HTML.

3. A stray <?xml ?> declaration exists within the XML content. This can happen when XML files are combined programmatically or via cut-and-paste. There can only be one <?xml ?> declaration in an XML file, and it can only be at the top.

   Resolution: Search for <?xml in a case-insensitive manner, and remove all but the top XML declaration from the file.

Reason for me is 2 of following code in one xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

回答3:

There was auto generated Copyright message in XML and a blank line before <resources> tag, once I removed it my build was successful.

回答4:

Another reason of the above error is corrupted jar file. I got the same error but for Junit when running unit tests. Removing jar and downloading it again fix the issue.

回答5:

in my case was a wrong path in a config file: file was not found (path was wrong) and it came out with this exception:

Error configuring from input stream. Initial cause was The processing instruction target matching "[xX][mM][lL]" is not allowed.

I had a similar issue with 50,000 rdf/xml files in 5,000 directories (the Project Gutenberg catalog file). I solved it with riot (in the jena distribution)

the directory is cache/epub/NN/nn.rdf (where NN is a number)

in the directory above the directory where all the files are, i.e. in cache

riot epub/*/*.rdf --output=turtle > allTurtle.ttl

This produces possibly many warnings but the result is in a format which can be loaded into jena (using the fuseki web interface).

surprisingly simple (at least in this case).

For PHP, put this line of code before you start printing your XML:

while(ob_get_level()) ob_end_clean();
