Additional Info: When I add the line factory.setValidating(true), I'm expecting the parser to give me a warning if I remove the DTD definition for the XML file. However, even after removing the line <!DOCTYPE slideshow SYSTEM "slideshow1a.dtd"> from slideSample05.xml, the program still runs normally and gives no indication that it expects a DTD.
Please help if you have the time, Thanks! -----Original Message----- From: Huynh Bao-E11524 Sent: Monday, December 04, 2006 1:24 AM To: j-users@xerces.apache.org Subject: Ignorable white space invoking characters method Hi, My ignorable white spaces are invoking the characters method instead of ignorableWhitespace. I couldn't figure out what the problem was so I went back to Sun's tutorial on SaxParser. I used the exact code given by the tutorial but still the ignorable white spaces are invoking the characters method. Here are links to the code I used: Java code - http://java.sun.com/webservices/jaxp/dist/1.1/docs/tutorial/sax/work/Ech o08.java XML for input - http://java.sun.com/webservices/jaxp/dist/1.1/docs/tutorial/sax/samples/ slideSample05.xml DTD for XML - http://java.sun.com/webservices/jaxp/dist/1.1/docs/tutorial/sax/samples/ slideshow1a-dtd.html What else could I possibly be doing wrong? Any hints will be greatly appreciated.
