Issue
If you are trying to import an LCA archive in LiveCycle ES adminui, you may encounter the following error:
Error previewing archive: 'org.apache.xmlbeans.XmlException: error: Invalid byte 1 of 1-byte UTF-8 sequence.'
This error may be accompanied by the following exception in the server log:
SEVERE: OrchestrationImportExportHandler:previewApplicationComponent:Exception: org.apache.xmlbeans.XmlException: error: Invalid byte 1 of 1-byte UTF-8 sequence. 2008-01-10 09:21:20,380 INFO [STDOUT] Jan 10, 2008 9:21:20 AM com.adobe.repository.ui.aac.struts.actions.CommandProcessorAction execute SEVERE: Application Administration Console: Error previewing archive: 'org.apache.xmlbeans.XmlException: error: Invalid byte 1 of 1-byte UTF-8 sequence. 'com.adobe.repository.ui.aac.AacException: Error previewing archive: 'org.apache.xmlbeans.XmlException: error: Invalid byte 1 of 1-byte UTF-8 sequence.
Reason
This is a bug in LiveCycle ES 8.0.1. If you are using quotation characters in the process XML, in the Task Instructions for example, these characters are not being handled correctly when exporting the XML for the LiveCycle archive file. The encoding on the XML beans parser is not configured correctly.
Solution
This issue has been resolved in LC ES 8.0.1 SP3 ( 8.0.1.3) and later versions.
