In my case, this is afterReadHandler.getClass() == org.dom4j.io.SAXContentHandler.   Does anyone know how to prevent reader.read() from doing this? The read() method will always install its own ContentHandler. If you want to use a different ContentHandler then probably the easiest way is to derive from SAXReader and override the following method       /** Factory Method to allow user derived SAXContentHandler objects to be used       */     protected SAXContentHandler createContentHandler(XMLReader reader) {         return new MySAXContentHandler();     }   James
