Details

This patch modifies the following classes: 

uk.org.ogsadai.client.toolkit.activity.xmldb.XMLCreateResource
uk.org.ogsadai.common.xml.XMLUtilities

In XMLCreateResource, within the setContext method the line: 

    mContent = content;
is replaced with: 
    mContent = XMLUtilities.stripXMLDeclaration(content);
and within the setContentFromFile method the line: 
    mContent = XMLUtilities.xmlDOMToString(
       XMLUtilities.xmlFileToDOM(contentFileName, false));
is replaced with: 
    mContent = XMLUtilities.stripXMLDeclaration(
        XMLUtilities.xmlDOMToString(
            XMLUtilities.xmlFileToDOM(contentFileName, false)));

In XMLUtilities the following method is added: 

    /**
     * Removes an XML declaration from the start of the specified XML string, if
     * one exists. Otherwise, no action is taken and same string that was passed
     * to the method is returned.
     * 
     * @param xmlString
     *            a string describing an XML document
     * @return a string describing an XML document without an XML declaration
     */
    public static String stripXMLDeclaration(String xmlString)
    {
        if (xmlString.startsWith("&lh;?xml ")) 
        {
            System.out.println("Index = " + xmlString.indexOf("?>"));
            return xmlString.substring(xmlString.indexOf("?>") + 2);
        }
        else 
        {
            return xmlString;
        }
    }
