Hi Ramana,
I guess what you're really after is a "tiny" XML parser. I'm not aware of
any, although somebody may have developed something suitable and posted it
on one of the many Java "resource" sites. Perhaps one of the other list
mmbers might know of something.
If you can't find anything then you're left with two options: develop
something of your own, or use Xerces. I can't think of any reason that
might make you consider the first option for more than about 90 seconds...
You can do everything you need to in Xerces, it implements the standards
for XML, it's stable, it's powerful, and it's fast. The only real downside
is that it is pretty big. If you want to deploy this application across
the web, using Xerces will significantly increase the download time that
your users will experience.
Having said all that, many of us would be only too happy to help you
through the process of creating an XML source that reads a string, and then
using a DefaultHandler to parse your string.
Drop us a line if you decide to go with Xerces.
Cheers,
Paul.

Subject: Handling tags
Hello,
I know this question is a out of scope of this list. But, I choose to
write this here because there will be a lot of tag parsing experts here.
The problem here:
I have a String returned from some program and it can contain
<U></U><B></B> and <I></I> tags. Meaning some thing like :
<B>H</B>E<U>LL</U>O. The string returned may or not may not contain the
tags. If they contain the tags, then I need to get the embeded token from
it.
I am also required to do error handling like
1. There should be atleast one token between the tags, if there are
tags.
2. The tag should be properly used. Meaning no start tag without
end
tag etc.
I don't want to use SAXhandler or DOM parser for this small strings.
Plan to do String processing. Please suggest me the solutions. I am new to
Java.
Regards
Ramana.JV.
