XOM API for Processing XML with Java

You have not provided enough information to diagnose the problem. 
Seeing the actual XML document and code would be required to tell 
what's going on here. probably your document is malformed and you're 
getting an XMLException, not an IOException, but that's just a guess 
without seeing the code.
