Hi all,

I had a program and it always works fine and suddenly it gives me the
following message when a pass a xml file to our server program:
error code: -1072896680 reason: XML document must have a top level element.
line #: 0
I don't know if it is my xml file or it is something else?

Here is my client side program:
<%@ Language=vbScript%>
<%
Set xmlDom=CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM")

XMLDom.async =False
xmlDom.load Server.MapPath("05272008ACTest.xml")
DataToSend = xmlDom.xml

dim xmlhttp
set xmlhttp = server.Createobject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP")

xmlhttp.Open "POST","https://www.mydomain.com/ac/xt_ac_B2B.asp",false

xmlhttp.setRequestHeader "Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"

xmlhttp.send DataToSend
if(Err <> 0) then
Response.Write("An error occured when retrieving data from an external
source.<br />")
Response.Write(Err.Description)
Response.End
end if
On error goto 0
'if request is not Ok then display detailed message about the request
problem
if(xmlHttp.status <> 200) then
Response.Write("The remote server returned an invalid statuscode: #8221;"
& _
xmlHttp.status & " " & xmlHttp.statusText) & "<br>"
Response.Write("response text from remote server" & _
" " & xmlHttp.responseText)
Response.End
end if

if xmlHttp.responseXML is nothing then
Response.Write("The remote server didn’t return xml content.")
Response.End
end if
Response.ContentType = "text/xml"
Response.Write xmlhttp.responsexml.xml
Set xmlhttp = nothing

Hmm, I can't see anything that would cause this error. It might help if we
tweak the code a bit. Inline ...

Use MSXML2.DOMDocument.3.0

Don't need the above line, delete it.

Belts and braces use MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP.3.0

You're not sending a HTML form post. You don't need the above line delete
it

> xmlhttp.send DataToSend

The xmlHttp object knows how to send an XML DOM change the line to:-

xmlhttp.send xmlDom

Note this will add the correct content type header.

You should be getting UTF-8 from the server and that is what you want be
sending add:-

Response.CharSet = "UTF-8"

> Response.Write xmlhttp.responsexml.xml

This can really mess up the character encoding use instead:-

xmlhttp.responseXML.save Response


> Set xmlhttp = nothing

It would help if you posted the actual file content rather than what is seen
in IE browser. Especially important is the start of the file. Make sure
the file has no whitespace at the start. Also open the file in notepad then
use Save As to check what encoding it is in.

Can't see where you are sending the XML response. However you would
probably want to build the response in an XML DOM and use:-

Response.ContentType = "text/xml" ' Yes move this line to where you send the
response
Response.CharSet = "UTF-8"
dom.Save Response


Also have you tested via Http instead of https do you get the same result.

Make this bunch of changes see if it fixes things (or least breaks in a
different way that we can help you with

There is no
<? xml .... ?>
line there. If you are simply viewing the XML file via MSIE, that line
*should* be showing up.

An example of a valid header line would be
<? xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1252" ?>

(Encoding could also be "utf-8". Many sites also use "iso-8859-1" but
that's almost always a mistake.)

An XML declaration is not mandatory; MSXML will quite happily load XML
without it. However it is probably bettter that it be present.

Hi Anthony and Old Pedant,


Now my b2bresponse.xml and 05272008ACTest.xml file have a line:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

and in firefox: I still get the same error:
<xmlResponse>
<isSuccess>False</isSuccess>
<errorField>XML</errorField>
−
<errorMessage>
error code: -1072896680 reason: XML document must have a top level element.
line #: 0
</errorMessage>
<policyNumber/>
</xmlResponse>

in IE I have to use view source to see the following message:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xmlResponse>
<isSuccess>False</isSuccess>
<errorField>XML</errorField>
<errorMessage>error code: -1072896680 reason: XML document must have a top
level element.
line #: 0</errorMessage>
<policyNumber/>
</xmlResponse>

In IE broswer, it just looks like this:
False XML error code: -1072896680 reason: XML document must have a top level
element. line #: 0

the same all xml files in UTF-8 code in the notepad already.
I really don't know what to do.

Did you make the adjustments to the code I outlined? Have you tried it via
http instead of https?

D'oh! I think I see it now try inserting the following here:-

xmlDoc.async = false

<snip>


I still think you should make the other tweaks I recommended as well.

Anthony Jones - MVP ASP/ASP.NET

Anthony,

Yes, I followed your directions and here is the new code. The funny part is
I think i used the same way as I coded before and how come it suddenly
doesn't work any more.
Now I tried to debug the xml file step by step. so my xml file first will
look like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<enrollment orderID="200808251114527143" PONumber="50000" marketingCode="E"
productName="adventureCenter">
</enrollment>

Ok, no xml needs a top element error message.

so I changed the xml file to:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<enrollment orderID="200808251114527143" PONumber="50000" marketingCode="E"
productName="adventureCenter">
<test>Y</test>
</enrollment>

Only one extra line: <test>Y</test> besides the top element.
Now it complains again:
<xmlResponse>
<isSuccess>False</isSuccess>
<errorField>XML</errorField>
−
<errorMessage>
error code: -1072896680 reason: XML document must have a top level element.
line #: 0
</errorMessage>
<policyNumber/>
</xmlResponse>


It seems it only takes a top level element xml file, as soon as I add one
more line to the xml file, it starts to complain. I don't get it.

Yes, I did. See another reply in details.
I used https, I cannot use http. If I used http, it will have the following
error messge:

Hmm... perplexing. Are we seeing all the Server code here? Do you have
other code prior to the above which reads the Request object? Note the
Request stream doesn't support reseting position to the beginning, therefore
once read, it cannot be read again. If you have already consumed the
request stream elsewhere I suspect your code would respond in the way you
are seeing.
