nested exception is org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Invalid byte 2 of 2-byte UTF-8 sequence

Question

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context" xmlns:hsf="http://www.taobao.com/hsf"

    <hsf:consumer id="fcAccountQueryService"
        interface="com.aliexpress.finance.open.fcaccount.share.service.FcAccountQueryService"
        version="1.0.0" group="DUBBO" />
</beans>

This is my xml file, but when I deploy, I got error Caused by: org.springframework.beans.factory.xml.XmlBeanDefinitionStoreException: Line 6 in XML document from class path resource [biz/consumer/services/spring_fc_account_services.xml] is invalid; nested exception is org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Invalid byte 2 of 2-byte UTF-8 sequence.. Why?

And the other xml line 6 is

<beans>
    <import resource="/consumer/services/spring_fc_account_services.xml" />
</beans>

@hagello Yes, it tell me that the xml file's encoding is error, but I'm sure it's correct. — He Yuntao, Nov 18 '15 at 05:46
@hagello I got the answer, i miss the ```hsf``` dependency in my pom.xml — He Yuntao, Nov 18 '15 at 07:11
What's hsf? I'm not convinced that resolved the actual issue — Alastair McCormack, Nov 18 '15 at 08:47
@AlastairMcCormack it's true, when i add the hsf dependency to my pom.xml, all problems resolved. hsf is a java remote service invocation framework, developed by alibaba. — He Yuntao, Nov 18 '15 at 11:32
And if you remove the dependency, does it fail again? (I'm trying to make sure this question has benefit to others) — Alastair McCormack, Nov 18 '15 at 12:04
@AlastairMcCormack Yes, I'm sure. Because I try it in other spring application, it's also occured. — He Yuntao, Nov 18 '15 at 12:23

This means that the xml file is saved in some other format other than UTF-8

Try saving file in UTF-8 format

Try referring here and here for similar problem

There Might be some Special Characters which you are not able to see because the editor,terminal,gedit tools etc doesn't support that character.

Another way to handle the same exception what I found is

new String(bytes,"ISO-8859-1").getBytes("UTF-16");

If your contents are giving the SAXException: Invalid byte 2 of 2-byte UTF-8 sequence.

I try to save file in UTF-8 format and in ISO-8859-1, I get the error again. So it's not caused by encoding.
And I try to add the same xml file to other spring application, it works. I'm sure all the xml files are same.
Then I compared the two app's dependency. I found the app which worked well has a dependency of hsf.
In my xml file, I used http://www.taobao.com/hsf http://www.taobao.com/hsf/hsf.xsd xsd. So I add the hsf dependency to my pom.xml, all problems was solved, the app started successful!
