it is normal as specified in http://sax.sourceforge.net/apidoc/org/xml/sax/ContentHandler.html#characters(char[], int, int) i think that the reason for this behavior is that parser is firing characters() with partial input event when during reading input buffer is re-filled so current content is returned in characters() event. you are supposed to buffer characters until endTag and only then you know all character content of element (for example by using StringBuffer) - you should do it unless SAX2 driver you are using will do this buffering for you but this will make your SAX2 code dependent on this particular SAX2 implementation and this is not good for code prtability... alek --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
