you need to write a class which extends DefaultHandler .. then over ride the
relevant methods to save your data to the hash table
so if your xml is like
<element1>
blah blah
</element1>
then you over ride the methods
characters(char[] ch, int start, int length)
and put the charecters that you are getting in a StringBuffer.
and override
endElement(java.lang.String uri, java.lang.String localName,
java.lang.String qName)
and put the data from the String buffer in the hashtable and create a new
StringBuffer... there is no way to clear the String buffer
and remember to make the string buffer an instance variable so that
it is accessible to both the methods
hope it helps
