SAX parser modifies the InputSource





------- Additional Comments From gmarcy@us.ibm.com  2002-04-19 14:53 -------
The SAX InputSource JavaDoc says two things.  First:

An InputSource object belongs to the application: the SAX parser shall never 
modify it in any way (it may modify a copy if necessary).

So, if it is indeed the case that the SAX parser changes the InputSource then 
that would be a bug.  But it also says:

However, standard processing of both byte and character streams is to close them 
on as part of end-of-parse cleanup, so applications should not attempt to re-use 
such streams after they have been handed to a parser.

Therefore it is also the case that any expectation that you have that a stream 
that you give to a parser via an InputSource is reusable is not valid.  You must 
always create new streams any time that they are provided to the parser.
