RE: [xml-dev] SAXParser error

Title: Message

The String argument to parse is not the XML content, it is the URL of the resource containing the content.

 

Try creating a StringReader and create an InputSource that wraps the Reader.

Subject: [xml-dev] SAXParser error

I have a web service that receives a string containing well-formed XML.  I am trying to parse this string using the SAXParser and the default handler. 

        // This is the client side:
        StringBuffer buff = new StringBuffer();
        buff.append("<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>");
        buff.append("<myelement attr1 = 'false' attr2 = 'true'>");
        buff.append("  <nestedelement>value</nestedelement>");
        buff.append("</myelement>");
        String s = new String(buff);

        // This is the server side that receives the string reqeust
        DefaultHandler handler = new DefaultHandler();
        ...
       
        try
        {
                SAXParserFactory factory = SAXParserFactory.newInstance();
                SAXParser parser = factory.newSAXParser();

                // The exception comes when I call parse, trying to parse the string as an XML document
                parser.parse(s, handler);
        }
        catch (Exception e)
        {
                // The exception I'm getting is:  no protocol: PRINTS OUT THE XML TEXT
        }

Anyone know what the source of the exception is?
