Hi Dominik,
you could try to make your data stream look like legal xml content, by
preceding the stream with a xml header and an opening root element. It
would then look like
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<data-stream>
<FIRSTMESSAGE>...</FIRSTMESSAGE><SECONDMESSAGE>...</SECONDMESSAGE>
This can be parsed with SAX parser, even if the root element never will
be closed.
Cheers,
Axel
