JSP Problem.

I keep getting the following error everytime I try to access the page;

javax.servlet.ServletException: Invalid byte 1 of 1-byte UTF-8 sequence.
	org.apache.jasper.runtime.PageContextImpl.doHandlePageException(PageContextImpl.java:848)

<% 	DocumentBuilderFactory domFactory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
	DocumentBuilder builder = domFactory.newDocumentBuilder();
	Document doc = builder.parse(new FileInputStream(application.getRealPath("/Demo 3/store.xml")));
	XPathFactory factory = XPathFactory.newInstance();
	XPath xpath = factory.newXPath(); %>

The page works fine using a different xml file, however the store xml file is well formed and validates against the schema, so I can't understand what the problem is here!

Try changing the page encoding, either make sure the XML is stating UTF-8 or the page above is UTF-8. It's either that or needs to be not UTF-8, can't remember which way round sorry

Thanks, that was a bizarre error!
