SAX parser - collapse sub elements ?

[Xiaofan Zhou <Xi...@businessobjects.com>]

 Hi All,
 
I have a need to do the following:
 
Suppose I have an element A that has a sub structures (e.g it has child
elements which could again have child elements), I need my parser to
simply return a string [or a chunk of characters in the character(....)
interface] for the structure of element A (e.g, that is, the whole thing
including all the tags) , I don't want  to receive the SAX events for
the subelements. Is there an easy way  to do this using the SAX parser
in Xerces? I know I can construct the string myself using all the SAX
events for the subelements, but I thought it might better done inside
the SAX parser.
 
Thanks in advance.
 
Frank

Hi,

    I think the easiest way would be to do as you describe - create the 
string from the SAX events.
