Solution
XML file content is probably prefixed with a BOM as #Sotirios Delimanolis answer
CTRL + A delete and write manual again :)
thanks so much :)

Answer 1

Your XML file content is probably prefixed with a BOM.
The sax parser expects a normal < to begin an XML document but finds the Byte Order Mark instead.
You have to remove it. An example for doing that can be found here.

Answer 2

I changed the Spring jdbc jar version from 3.2.0.RELEASE
To
3.0.4.RELEASE
and it has started working
