Why am I getting this error Premature end of file?

Question

I am trying to parse an XML response, but I am failing miserably. I thought initially that the xml was just not being returned in the response, so

I came across the same error, and could easily find what was the problem by logging the exception:

documentBuilder.setErrorHandler(new ErrorHandler() {
    @Override
    public void warning(SAXParseException exception) throws SAXException {
        log.warn(exception.getMessage());
    }

    @Override
    public void fatalError(SAXParseException exception) throws SAXException {
        log.error("Fatal error ", exception);
    }

    @Override
    public void error(SAXParseException exception) throws SAXException {
        log.error("Exception ", exception);
    }
});

Or, instead of logging the error, you can throw it and catch it where you handle the entries, so you can print the entry itself to get a better indication on the error.
