I am using SAX Parser to parse XML data from a http url.
I am creating a BlackBerry application, that shows direction data from a location to another location.

My application parsed data for some locations very accurately but for some locations it gives me org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: End tag does not match start tag ‘meta’.

when i traced my application then i came to know that data which is coming from http url is not correct, although url contains correct xml data

The XML data I am parsing:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Can you show me the URL which returns this XML data? it may be possible that this problem can be of URL creation. i have used all these information in a app and i found that my problem was URL not parser.

You might be have the same problem so just use ‘+’ instead of space. and let me know if it works.
