Hi Matthijs, For complex XML processing, I suggest that you take advantage of the fact that Digester is an org.xml.sax.ContentHandler. Rather than having the digester instance create and configure the parser, do it yourself with the digester object just being the "target" of the SAX events generated by the parser.
This will allow you to control the parser directly, rather than via the Digester class methods, removing one level of complexity from the problem. // get and configure a javax.xml.sax.SAXParser object // using the standard jaxp APIs // create and set up digester as normal Digester d = new Digester(); d.addObjectCreate(..) etc // tell the parser that the digester is the SAX content handler XMLReader r = parser.getXMLReader(); r.setContentHandler(d); r.parse(...); // not digester.parse How to set up the xml parser to validate your XML then becomes a question to ask on the XML lists, not the Digester lists....[neat sidestep, huh? :-] Cheers, Simon On Fri, 2003-09-19 at 10:55, Matthijs Wensveen wrote: > I have a similar problem, but maybe a bit more complex. > The XML I want to digest consists of elements defined in one or more > namespaces.
