Buffer Overflow

[Tejbir Singh <si...@india.hp.com>]

 
Hi
     I am facing a particular problem. If the sizeof  the content of a
any element increases beyond 2k , sax automatically splits the content
into 2 strings. Anyone has any idea how to over come this. i.e how can
we increase the buffer size or any other solution.
 

Thanks

Hi Tejbir,

There is a property you can set on the parser which allows you to control
the buffer size [1] used by the parser. This is however no guarantee, that
the parser won't split the content into multiple 'characters' callbacks.
The parser will also split the callbacks when it encounters a newline.

SAX allows parsers to split character data [2] into as many chunks as they
please and on whatever boundaries they please. The application using SAX
is responsible for accumulating the text, so your code must handle this.
