I found an exception when parsing a simple xml as following:
------------begin of xml--------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<root>
        <!-- Value of tag 'child1' is a character 0x96 -->
        <child1>�</child1>
</root>
------------end of xml--------------
Here is the exception using DomParser of Xalan j2.3.1 and Xerces 2.0.1:

------------begin of the exception--------------
[Error] :2:7: Document root element "root", must match DOCTYPE root "null".
[Error] :2:7: Document is invalid: no grammar found.

Here is my java codes to parse the above simple xml-data:

  public static Node parseToNode(InputStream stream) throws Exception
  {
    DOMParser parser = new DOMParser();
    parser.setFeature("http://xml.org/sax/features/validation";, true);

    parser.parse(new InputSource(stream));
    Document dom = parser.getDocument();

    Node node = dom.getFirstChild();
    return node;
  }
