stopping the SAX parser

[Roberto Tiella <ti...@sodalia.it>]

Hi,

I would like to stop the SAX parser in a endElement method in
DocumentHandler when a certain condition occours to avoid further
parsing, any suggestions ?

thanks, roberto.

Throw a SAXException.

ex.

try
{
    parser.parse( new InputSource( someURI ) );
}
catch( SAXException sax )
{
    if( sax.getMessage().equals( "My condition is true so stop parsing" ) )
    {
        //do any necessary cleanup or whatever you want to do
    }
}


public void endElement( String ns, String localName, String nsName ) throws
SAXException
{
    if( myTestCondition == true ) throw new SAXException( "My condition is
true so stop parsing" );
}
