Actually this is the code for the second approach :
/* Create a URL we want to load some xml-data from. */
URL url = new URL("http://www.myserver.com/xmlstream";);
/* Get a SAXParser from the SAXPArserFactory. */
SAXParserFactory spf = SAXParserFactory.newInstance();
SAXParser sp = spf.newSAXParser();
/* Get the XMLReader of the SAXParser we created. */
XMLReader xr = sp.getXMLReader();
/* Create a new ContentHandler and apply it to the XML-Reader*/
ExampleHandler myExampleHandler = new ExampleHandler();
xr.setContentHandler(myExampleHandler);
/* Parse the xml-data from our URL. */
xr.parse(new InputSource(url.openStream()));
/* Parsing has finished. */
And the error I get is :
At line 40, column 23: not well-formed (invalid token)
which is around this XML line :
<Country ID="2" CName="Åland eilanden"/>
So where should I specifiy its an ISO-8859-1 ?
Also I have been debugging the app, but I actually cannot see the
stacktrace, could you please direct me on how to show it on NetBeans ?
Every time I try to look at the exception thrown I will see several
variables but StackTrace will be null...
