I am using Activiti engine version 5.17.0 in my java based project. I took all the jar files from the "activiti-explorer.war" folder and using them as library jars in my project build path. I got the following error when claiming the task before completing the task.org.activiti.bpmn.exceptions.XMLEx

The error seems to indicate that something is wrong at the beginning of your XML. Try to clean it as much as possible to see what is causing the error.

I was having a similar problem. I finally tracked the error to a conflict in my jdbc drivers. I had two versions of the postgresql jdbc driver: one for postgresql 8 and another for postgresql 9. I removed the old one, and now it reads the xml fine.
