Hi,
Thanks a lot for the reply.
In your reply, in the sample scenario, you have shown characters() method
called many times. But, I think the scenario is like this:
startElement( "tag1", ...)
characters("\n", 1)
startElement( "tag2", ...)
characters("\n", 1)
characters( "someData", 8 )
endElement( "tag2" )
characters("\n", 1)
endElement( "tag1" )
characters("\n", 1)
At least this is what the output of my program suggest. I am using SAX2
parser.
Please let me know:
1. How to avaoid the characters() method to be called for data that I want
to ignore, such as "\n" corresponding to a newline after start of a tag and
a newline after end of a tag?
2. For all the characters within "<tag2>" and "</tag2>", is the characters
method called only once, or the parser may call it more than once?
Thanks once again,
-Vinay Kakade.
