Parsing a String using DOM API

Hi Folks,
I am writing an application in Java using DOM API. I have done the parsing of an XML document by passing its file name as a String parameter to the parse method of DOMParser class. This woks fine.
Now, I would like to pass the XML documentas a String and parse.
Please help me doing this task.
Regards,
Lakshmi

In order to parse an XML string, you will need to use an InputSource instance. Try this -

Hope that helps!

Thank you Ajith,
I am currently using ByteArrayInputStream object as a parameter to InputSource constructor. I will try with StringBufferInputStream now. But otherwise, instead of using InputSource, is there any way of sending XML String for parsing !
Please let me Know.
Regards,
Lakshmi

Look at the API for your parser. In JAXP 1.1 I find parse() methods with input of File, InputSource, InputStream, and URI.
