SAX2 and DTD elements
Hi, I know that SAX2 doesn't support things like
!DOCTYPE. But does the presense of these things
interfere with parsing using SAX2? (Well, they
shouldn't).
However, I just ran into a case in that the presense
of <!DOCTYPE ...> seems to screw up the parsing (to be
exact, public void characters(char ch[], int start,int
length) seems no longer be able to function.). Any
ideas?
Thanks.

By any chance is the problem that you're missing nodes that contain
only white space? If so this is the expected behavior, and you need
to use the ignorableWhiteSpace() method too. This method only gets
invoked when the document has a DTD that can identify certain
elements as having only child element content.
