DomParser.parse(): How do I pass in a String as the XML document

[Peter Kelly <pk...@hotmail.com>]

Hi,

I know how to parse an XML file. How do I parse a String that represents an 
XML document.

DOMParser parser = new DOMParser();
parser.parse("file:///c:/tmp.xml");

Also, why can't I see the parse method in the DOMParse class. Does this 
class inherit from something else. If I knew what the parameter choices were 
I made be able to try something. A Java XML book I have stated that many 
parsers accept InputStreams but that I get a compile error.

Any help appreciated.

thanks,
Peter

InputSource source = new InputSource(new StringReader("<foo ><bar /></foo>");
parser.parse(source);

You need to do what I did above and wrap the input stream in an
org.xml.sax.InputSource.
