This code is running on Blackberry JDE v4.2.1 It's in a method that makes web API calls that return XML. Sometimes, the XML returned is not well formed and I need to strip out any invalid characters prior to parse.
Currently, I get: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Invalid character '' encountered.
I would like to see ideas of a fast way to attach an invalid character stripper on the input stream so that the stream just flows through the validator/stripper and into the parse call. i.e. I'm trying to avoid saving the content of the stream.
Existing code:
handler is an override of DefaultHandler
url is a String containing the API URL
hconn = (HttpConnection) Connector.open(url,Connector.READ_WRITE,true);
...
try{
XMLParser parser = new XMLParser();
InputStream input = hconn.openInputStream();
parser.parse(input, handler);
input.close();
} catch (SAXException e) {
Logger.getInstance().error("getViaHTTP() - SAXException - "+e.toString());
}
