Invalid xml syntax

[David Dauer]

While digging around I noticed that e.g. the readyNotification command XML is like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><readyNotificationCommand><apikey>LKFBAEnfpipinrfdsi234sjfwlenf384</apikey><class>edu.kit.iism.tacdemo.ReadyNotificationCommand</class><competitionId>6</competitionId><ready>true</ready><username>admin</username></readyNotificationCommand>

and thus not valid xml. This affects all other commands, too. So we should make sure that xml communication is using valid-xml syntax.

Why is this not valid XML? Am I missing something obvious?

[Prashant Reddy (preddy)]

To clarify, the XML seems to be well-formed. Do you mean that it should include a DTD reference?

[David Dauer (ddauer)]

Sorry, the document closing tag is missing - </xml>. A XML-schema would be even better.

[John Collins (jcollins-cs)]

But there is no opening tag <xml>, so I do not see what's wrong here. As Prashant says, this looks to me like well-formed xml.

[David Dauer (ddauer)]

Oh sorry my mistake! We should maybe think about using a schema anyway?
