Cannot deploy EJB because ...-ds.xml file

[gaeoepag]

Hello,

I'm trying to deploy an EJB 3 deployment file, and I'm getting
the following error:

15:09:02,956 ERROR [MainDeployer] Could not initialise deployment: file:/C:/jboss-4.0.4.GA/server/default/deploy/testejb301-ds.xml
org.jboss.deployment.DeploymentException: Could not parse dd; - nested throwable: (org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Content is not allowed in prolog.)

I cannot find anything wrong!
Here the testejb301-ds.xml file,
but it is not complete because
the browser filters out some tags.

xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<local-tx-datasource>
<jndi-name>jdbc/testejb301</jndi-name>
<connection-url>jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/testejb301</connection-url>
<driver-class>com.mysql.jdbc.Driver</driver-class>
<user-name>root</user-name>
root
<exception-sorter-class-name>org.jboss.resource.adapter.jdbc.vendor.MySQLExceptionSorter</exception-sorter-class-name>

<type-mapping>mySQL</type-mapping>

</local-tx-datasource>


Thanks and Best Regards!!

Wrap the xml in code tags and then it will display properly.

Look at the file using a hex editor (e.g., open as a binary file in Visual Studio). Most likely, there are some encoding bytes prior to the initial "<". Try saving the file in ASCII encoding and see if that fixes the problem.

Thanks a lot, I've done it in this way and now is working!
