Answer 1

Try adding all the write requests to a Process Queue and then build/append XML by those elements of Queue.

Answer 2

I have faced such type of problem but exactly not the same. I am sharing my experience about this error. Please, sorry for any inconvenience.

I have faced the following problem

1. I have to form a xml file with dynamic variable data. And post that xml to a URL by PostMethod in java.

2. Normally It works. But when dynamic variable data is null. Then it shows the “Premature end of file".

Solution:

1. Just checking the variable is null or not. And it works for me.

Answer 3

Two possible solutions are:

• Write your files to thename.xml.part and then once done/closed to a rename to thename.xml, which makes the write closer to being atomic -- the reader can't read it until it's surely done so long as it is looking for ".xml" files only.
• or, use a Database, atomicity is what they do.

Answer 4

I have also faced this problem. My experience is...

1. Clean Project
2. Rebuild Project

then it will run successfully....
