Question

We are parsing the Twitter API in our application. This used to be working fine till yesterday, but now we get the following exception:

javax.xml.bind.DataBindingException: javax.xml.bind.UnmarshalException
 - with linked exception:
[org.xml.sax.SAXParseException; lineNumber: 37; columnNumber: 577; The prefix "georss" for element "georss:point" is not bound.]
at javax.xml.bind.JAXB.unmarshal(JAXB.java:225)

Seems like there is a new XML tag present: georss:point The feed lacks the namespace declaration for the georss microformat and hence an error is thrown. Is someone also facing this issue? Does a work-round exist for this? Because it is bringing my app down currently.

Any help in this regard is highly appriciated. Thanks, Vaibhav.

Answer 1

Yes wkoot removing the geo tag instead as i was not using it anyways then parsing the String now 🙁 the only 2 legitimate solutions for now…
