InputSource is a SAX class - org.xml.sax.InputSource. DOMParser... you should check out what it extends and implements. That's where you will find the information you want. Chase it up the inheritance tree to the W3C classes. > > The html docs only address a fraction of what's going on in the parser... That HTML docs is for Xerces, which is the implementation... the questions you have are about the interfaces, defined at a lower level (SAX and DOM). -Brett > > If I'm barking up the wrong tree with this DOMParser subclass, let me know. > I'm certainly not married to the idea of using it. > > My needs are strait forward: > > I want to pass in a byte stream of XML data and receive a DOM_Document in > return. > > Now, how do I get there?
