Thanks Jason and Martin for the replies, I am now confused with the contradictory experiences of both of you. Is it possible to let me know the xerces version, OS, kernel version etc., on which you have seen this. I just wanted to understand the scenario where it worked (for Jason) and it dint work (for Martin)

Hi, I tested parsing large files. The memory consumption was aprox. 7 to 10 times of the XML-File-Size (pretty printed). But there was at least a limit on the size of the XML-File (aprox. 250Mb) where the xerces (2.6) bounces with strange errors.. and there *was* still some RAM left :-( (tested on linux). So I was forced to switch to SAX. cu martin
