SAX Parse

[bluefloyd8]

Hello!
Ive successfully written code to parse a XML file from an internet URL. Now Im trying to do the same thing to a local file and im missing something simple (i think).

Code:

            SAXParserFactory spf = SAXParserFactory.newInstance();
            SAXParser sp = spf.newSAXParser();         
            /* Get the XMLReader of the SAXParser we created. */
            XMLReader xr = sp.getXMLReader();
            /* Create a new ContentHandler and apply it to the XML-Reader*/
            ExampleHandler myExampleHandler = new ExampleHandler();
            xr.setContentHandler(myExampleHandler);
            fin = new FileReader(filename);
            xr.parse(new InputSource(fin));

fin is declared as a FileReader object and initialized to null. When I parsed a file from the internet, I used the following code instead of the code in bold above:

Code:

xr.parse(new InputSource(url.openStream()));

Thanks for the help!

You haven't said what the problem is that you are getting However InputSources expect to work with Streams rather than Readers so I would change your bold portion to read:

Code:

fin = new FileInputStream(filename);
 xr.parse(new InputSource(fin));

and of course change the definition of fin to be a FileInputStream
