Parsing Error with custom Model

[dallinns]

I am following the tutorial at the following URL: http://ecmarchitect.com/images/articles/alfresco-content/content-article.pdf

I have included the files as it displays them at that site, but when I try to reload tomcat with the custom content type it gives me a 404 error and the log file tells me there is an error parsing my model file. I have looked over the file and don't notice any typos. Is there something I'm doing wrong or some difference in the way it is done in the version I'm using and the version in the tutorial?

Here is the model file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><!– Definition of new Model –><model name="sc:somecomodel" xmlns="http://www.alfresco.org/model/dictionary/1.0">   <!– Optional meta-data about the model –>   <description>Someco Model</description>   <author>Optaros</author>   <version>1.0</version>      <!– Imports are required to allow references to definitions in other models –>      <imports>      <import uri="http://www.alfresco.org/model/dictionary/1.0" prefix="d" />      <import uri="http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0" prefix="cm" />      <import uri="http://www.alfresco.org/model/system/1.0" prefix="sys" />   </imports>      <namespaces>      <namespace uri="http://www.someco.com/model/content/1.0" prefix="sc" />   </namespaces>      <types>      <type name="sc:doc">         <title>Someco Document</title>         <parent>cm:content</parent>         <associations>            <association name="sc:relatedDocuments">               <title>Related Documents</title>               <source>                  <mandatory>false</mandatory>                  <many>true</many>               </source>               <target>                  <class>sc:doc</class>                  <mandatory>false</mandatory>                  <many>true</many>               </target>            </association>         </associations>         <mandatory­aspects>            <aspect>cm:generalclassifiable</aspect>         </mandatory­aspects>      </type>            <type name="sc:whitepaper">         <title>Someco Whitepaper</title>         <parent>sc:doc</parent>      </type>   </types>      <aspects>      <aspect name="sc:webable">         <title>Someco Webable</title>         <properties>            <property name="sc:published">               <type>d:date</type>            </property>            <property name="sc:isActive">               <type>d:boolean</type>               <default>false</default>            </property>         </properties>      </aspect>            <aspect name="sc:productRelated">         <title>Someco Product Metadata</title>         <properties>            <property name="sc:product">               <type>d:text</type>               <mandatory>true</mandatory>            </property>            <property name="sc:version">               <type>d:text</type>               <mandatory>true</mandatory>            </property>         </properties>      </aspect>   </aspects></model>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

and the Tomcat log file says this:

I can't figure out why there would be a parser error on line 27, col 21. Any help is appreciated.

[jobispo]

The error is in line 27, because you were notified by: Caused by: org.jibx.runtime.JiBXException: Error parsing document (line 27, col 21). So the error should be around to:
           <association name="sc:relatedDocuments">

I cannot see any defect closed to this line.

If you copied this code directly from a PDF book, take care with hidden characters. Probably you've got one.

Regards.

[jobispo]

Sorry, i didn't see.

That's uncorrect: <mandatoryaspects> the correct sintax is <mandatory-aspects>

But it's not in the line 27, so probably you've got two errors.

Regards.

Special characters were the problem. Thanks.
