Serial Parsing

["Cameron, Wendy" <We...@qr.com.au>]

I have been using the xerces interface to the SAX2 Parser
and set the validation feature to true.  (Which all
came packaged up in XML4J 3.0)

However it doesnt seem to completely serially
parse as I get after a quite a while the following
error.

java.lang.OutOfMemoryError

I was wondering if you could shed any light on the operation of
the sax parser or the operation of the Xerces framework that may
be causing this problem.

I really need to do serial validation against a DTD for a 2 Gig
file.
