I'm trying to read a single XML document from stream at a time using dom4j, process it, then proceed to the next document on the stream. Unfortunately, dom4j's SAXReader (using JAXP under the covers) keeps reading and chokes on the following document element. Is there a way to get the SAXReader to stop reading the stream once it finds ...
Hi All, I have started using Jython as it seems to be a excellent language, and has proved to be so far.

I have wrote the below script to check threw the DOM using Xpath for H1 tags and grab text, if a H1 tag is not present in the DO...

I'm using Dom4J 1.4.2. Right now my code creates a new SaxReader every time I want to parse a new XML document: SAXReader reader = new SAXReader( ); Is there any value in creating a pool of SaxReader objects and just reusing them? How much overhead is involved in creating a new SaxReader on every call? My code could get one from t...

Is there any way I can convert a document being parsed by dom4j's SAXReader from the ISO-8859-2 encoding to UTF-8? I need that to happen while parsing, so that the objects created by dom4j are already Unicode/UTF-8 and running code such as: "some text".equals(node.getText()); returns true. ...
I am parsing an XML file with SAXReader and would like to stop after a certain amount of time (timeout) in case the file is too large.
