I had posted this question earlier in XML group, never got an answer.

In DOM, there is a COMMENT_NODE to get the comment data, but if I have to get the data in a comment node in SAX, what can I do?

When the parser comes across a comment node, there is no callback method defined for this in SAX.

Is there a way to get that data in SAX ?

AFAIK in SAX 1.0 there is no way to retrieve the XML comments, as SAX assumes that comments are there for the author's benefit, not for the reader's.
I don't know if this is fixed in SAX 2.0.
