Alexandro,
SAX reports "ignorable" whitespace by the "ignorableWhitespace()" method
rather than "characters()", but only if
- you parse with a DTD, and
- the whitespace occurs in an element that has element-only content.
If you don't parse with a DTD, or if you have "invisible" whitespace
characters that occur in an element that supports text, then SAX reports
them always as characters.
I hope this helps, although it is probably not the answer you hoped to get.
Best regards
Michael

I wonder if there is any SAX expert here. I want to parse an XML file
with line breaks and tabs. It seems that the 'character' handler under
ContentHandler will include linebreaks spaces and other invisible
characters as content of the tags.
So for example I will get something like:
[ ] [ ] [Content] [ ] [ ] [OtherContent] [ ]
<tag>
<value>Conent</value>
<value>OtherContent</value>
</tag>
[ ] = Line Breaks (\n)
[ ] = Tabs (\t)
How can I ignore this non-visible character and just get the visual one.
Thanks.
