maximum size for text content of an element?
Hi,
I got an OutOfMemoryError when I parsed a document of about 5MB in size
despite the fact that I increased the maximum heap size of JVM to 512MB. I
suspect that the problem arose due to the very long textual content of an
element (~55000 characters).
Strangely though, when I broke up the file into two files, I was able to
parse both files separately.
Can it be that the huge string is problematic only in certain circumstances?
This problem happens with JDK 1.4.1_01 and Xerces 2.1 and 2.3.
thx
Alex

Hi Andy,
The document is parsed through JAXP DocumentBuilder configured to use
Xerces, without deferred node expansion, without validation and with
namespaces. The document does reference XML schemas, but no validation is
performed.
Patiently awaiting round three... :)

Okay, time for round two. :)
What API are you using? And are you performing any
validation on the document in question? If so, what
validation (e.g. DTD or XML Schema)?

It's not CDATA, but regular text content, something like:
<gml:coordinates>15000 coordinate tuples</gml:coordinates>
Not sure if it makes a difference though. The same problem occured with
Xerces 2.3.0.

This element wouldn't happen to have a large CDATA
section, would it? This was fixed recently.
