SAX parsing problem

[silviu]

I have the following XML string that I want to parse using the SAX
parser. If I remove the portion of the XML string between the <audit>
and </audit> tags the SAX is parsing correctly. Otherwise SAX wouldn't
do the parsing. What's wrong with this string (between <audit> and
</audit> tags)?
I am using SAX/Xerces 2.3.0 on Sun 8.
Thanks in advance of any help. Nick Roman

I can see nothing wrong with what you posted. Can you let us know
what error message you got?


All the best,

Hi David,

Thanks a lot for you answering my question.
Following the required info:
1. If <audit>...</audit> tags are NOT present in the string
then SAX parses correctly the XML string.
2. If <audit>...</audit> info ARE present in the string
then SAX parser will not do nothing; i.e. nothing will happen and
no error messages will be issued.

So, I my opinion, <audit>...</audit> info causes SAX parser to
misbehave. The question I have is: what is wrong with
<audit>...</audit> info?


Thanks,
Silviu

That sounds like a software bug. Try a different SAX parser and see
what happens.

Hi David,

Thanks a lot for you answering my question.

Hi Silviu,

But you didn't answer David's question. What error message are you getting?
I can tell you for a fact that the latest version of Xerces has no problem
with your document. AFAIK, there isn't any problem.
