RE: Parsing xml in memory
howdy,
thanks for the tip, this is exactly what I needed. Maybe I'll go home early
tonight to celebrate this small victory :)

Hi,
The StringReader mentioned in the example is the java.io.StringReader not
the org.apache.xerces one. In fact you can pretty much use any of Java's
reader or stream classes which means you can parse a file from memory, data
from a database, or from an incoming stream, say over the web:
For example i have created my own reader class XMLBufferedReader which
extends java.io.BufferedReader and have supplied a file name to it and then
passed that reader on to the InputSource object:
XMLBufferedReader reader = new XMLBufferedReader(new
FileReader("D:/Test.xml"));
InputSource source = new InputSource(reader);
You can also do this with a stream
InputStream inStream = new InputStream(some input stream);
InputSource source = new InputSource(inStream);
Therefore you don't even have to have a file.

not use that one. Even when I tried to modify the source and change
StringReader to a public class, I still got errors as the constructor for
StringReader is:
private StringReader(XMLEntityHandler entityHandler, XMLErrorReporter
errorReporter,
boolean sendCharDataAsCharArray, int
lineNumber, int columnNumber,
int stringHandle, StringPool stringPool,
boolean addEnclosingSpaces)
-- so it is not possible to pass a String to the constructor. Is there
any other way to parse a file from memory and not from a file?

I found this in a book called 'Professional XML' by Wrox publishing:
public void parseString(String s) throws SAXException, IOException
StringReader reader = new SringReader(s);
InputSource source = new InputSource(reader);
parser.parse(source);
}
I hope this is what you were looking for...
Good luck,

Hi all,
I am unable to browse the archives at webweaving.org so I post
this question on the mailing list... I am trying to parse an xml String that
my program receives. All the samples that came with the parser use an xml
file. I have seen how to do this with the xerces C++ parser, but I can't
figure out how do pass a String to the parser to parse...
Any suggestions will be welcome.
thanks,
Jon Gudmundsson
