title: Getting "Unexpected character '/' (code 47)" exception when running simple Odata4j consumer
body: <p>I am a beginner to odata4j. I am trying to run the following program using odata4j v0.7 library-</p>
  
  <pre><code>import org.core4j.Enumerable;
  import org.odata4j.consumer.ODataConsumer;
  import org.odata4j.consumer.ODataConsumers;
  import org.odata4j.core.OEntity;
  import org.odata4j.examples.AbstractExample;
  
  public class MyOdataTest extends AbstractExample {
  
    public static void main(String[] args) {
  
      ODataConsumer consumer = ODataConsumers.create("http://services.odata.org/OData.svc");
      Enumerable&lt;OEntity&gt; qList = consumer.getEntities("Categories").execute();
    }
  
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However, when I run this in Eclipse, I get the following exception-</p>
  
  <pre><code>Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException: com.ctc.wstx.exc.WstxUnexpectedCharException: Unexpected character '/' (code 47) in prolog; expected '&lt;'
