We tried to keep SAX 1.0 as simple as possible -- how would you
simplify the following further?

  public static void main ()
  {
    Parser parser = new SomeSAXDriver();
    parser.setDocumentHandler(new MyHandler());
    try {
      parser.parse("http://www.foo.com/foo.xml");
    } catch (SAXException e) {
      // do something!!
    }
  }

and

  public class MyHandler extends HandlerBase
  {
    public void startElement (String name, AttributeList atts)
    {
      // do something!!
    }

    public void endElement (String name)
    {
      // do something!!
    }

    public void characters (char ch[], int start, int length)
    {
      // do something!!
    }
  }


All the best,


David
