whitespaces

["Vaidya, Puja (Exchange)" <PV...@Bear.com>]

Hi,

 

I am using xerces-j and xml reader for using the SAX parser by using 

 Class c =Class.forName("org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser") and am
validating the xml file with schema.

 

I have also overloaded the ignorewhitespace method which never gets
called.  The parser considers all the white spaces between elements as
characters and sends everything to character method. 

 

Any thing I m doing wrong or missing ??

ignorableWhitespace() is only called for element content whitespace [1]. 
This is only defined in the context of a DTD and doesn't apply to XML 
Schema. See this [2] FAQ for more info.
