XML解析异常之 The processing instruction target matching "[xX][mM][lL]" is not allowed.

今天改个dwr.xml文件后，启动本地tomcat后控制台报错：

org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: The processing instruction target matching "[xX][mM][lL]" is not allowed.

分析：

后来在网上搜已一下The processing instruction target matching "[xX][mM][lL]" is not allowed.说是因为xml文件前有空格，可我的xml文件前没有空格。经过仔细研究发现，我把放在了之前，这跟xml文件前有空格同理。后来把提到了文件的最前面，并且去掉前面的空格后，重新启动就不再报错了。
