parsing using jdom

["Jason Kretzer/STAR BASE Consulting Inc." <JKretzer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am using jdom to parse a stream from
a url -- the one mentioned in my previous posts.  When I try to parse
it, I get the following error.

---------------------------------------
org.jdom.input.JDOMParseException: Error
on line 13 of document https://someWebSite.com/giveXML.jsp?someparam=paramOne:
XML declaration may only begin entities.
---------------------------------------

I am using the following code to parse
it.

---------------------------------------
SAXBuilder builder = new SAXBuilder();
builder.setValidation(true);
builder.setIgnoringElementContentWhitespace(true);
Document doc = builder.build(url);
---------------------------------------

where url is the url from before.  

After getting this error, printed out
the xml document using the following code.

---------------------------------------
InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(url.openStream());
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(isr);

String line = br.readLine();
while(line != null)
{
        System.out.println(line);
        line
= br.readLine();
}

br.close();
---------------------------------------

I redirected the output to a file and
opened it with IE and it opened fine.  When I tried to parse the file
using the above code though I received this error.

---------------------------------------
org.jdom.input.JDOMParseException: Error
on line 1 of document file:/output.xml: 
Document root element is missing.
---------------------------------------


I have posted a the first few lines
of the file, I printed out.  Only some of the element names have been
changed.  I also cut off the first 12 lines as they were blank for
some reason.  Anyone know what I can do to fix this?

Thanks,

-Jason
