xxx9834; Hello again xxx9835; ;)
i try to parse a XML string bo doing the following:

PHP Code:

private void parseDocument() {

        //get a factory
        SAXParserFactory spf = SAXParserFactory.newInstance();
        try {

            //get a new instance of parser
            SAXParser sp = spf.newSAXParser();

            //parse the file and also register this class for call backs
            sp.parse("employees.xml", this);

        }catch(SAXException se) {
            se.printStackTrace();
        }catch(ParserConfigurationException pce) {
            pce.printStackTrace();
        }catch (IOException ie) {
            ie.printStackTrace();
        }
    } 


PHP Code:

//Event Handlers
    public void startElement(String uri, String localName, String qName,
        Attributes attributes) throws SAXException {
        //reset
        tempVal = "";
        if(qName.equalsIgnoreCase("Employee")) {
            //create a new instance of employee
            tempEmp = new Employee();
            tempEmp.setType(attributes.getValue("type"));
        }
    }


    public void characters(charxxx91;xxx93; ch, int start, int length) throws SAXException {
        tempVal = new String(ch,start,length);
    }

    public void endElement(String uri, String localName,
        String qName) throws SAXException {

        if(qName.equalsIgnoreCase("Employee")) {
            //add it to the list
            myEmpls.add(tempEmp);

        }else if (qName.equalsIgnoreCase("Name")) {
            tempEmp.setName(tempVal);
        }else if (qName.equalsIgnoreCase("Id")) {
            tempEmp.setId(Integer.parseInt(tempVal));
        }else if (qName.equalsIgnoreCase("Age")) {
            tempEmp.setAge(Integer.parseInt(tempVal));
        }

    } 


PHP Code:

    public class Employee {
        private String type = "";
        private String name = "";
        private String id = "";
        private String age = "";
        
        public void setType(String _type) {
            type = _type;
        }
        
        public void setName(String _name) {
            name = _name;
        }
        
        public void setId(String _id) {
            id = _id;
        }
        
        public void setAge(String _age) {
            age = _age;
        }
    } 


My problem is, that the compiler will not do wat i want ;)

i also have these one here at the begining of my source:

PHP Code:

import net.rim.device.api.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory;
import net.rim.device.api.xml.parsers.*;
import net.rim.device.api.xml.parsers.SAXParser.*; 


So whats wrong?
what do i need to change if i want to parse a XML-string instead of a XML-File?

thanks hibbert

you have to read the file first. See org.xml.sax.InputSource for applicable input, in most cases a bytestream is the way to go.
