Multiple xml documents in a file

[Shanthi Nellaiappan <ns...@cisco.com>]

Hi,
   How to parse multiple xml documents stored in one file or from a
stream...
  If it has to be read one xml from stream and sent to the parser.. is
it like this??

<Pre>
    String line;
    StringBuffer parserStr;
    BufferedReader inputstr = new ()....

   while (!(line.equals("</xml_doc_end_tag>"))) {
        line=inputStr.readLine();
        parseStr.append(line);
   }
   parseStr.append(line);
   parserInput = new InputSource(new StringReader(parseStr.toString()));

.....

SAXParser p;
p.parse(parserInput);


.</Pre>

If so, at the end of the doc, it gives the foll error,
Line 1
uri null
message: not well formatted...

Hi,
How does your input stream reader know that "</xml_doc_end_tag>" will be on
a line by itself?

The XML specification doesn't allow for multiple XML documents
to appear in the same file or stream. You would have to provide 
some kind of wrapper around the XML documents in the stream. 
Because of the different character encodings that documents 
can use, this can be complicated. 

You'll have to devise some kind of solution that works for your 
application because the parser cannot handle this directly.
