Problems parsing a string with SAX

i'm attempting to parse a string object like so:
SAXParser parser = new SAXParser();
parser.setContentHandler ( this );
parser.setErrorHandler ( this );
StringReader stringReader = new StringReader(xmlString);
InputSource inputSource = new InputSource(xmlString);
parser.parse(inputSource);
but i keep getting a SAXParseException: File <xmlString> Not Found.
what am i doing wrong?
all i want to do is simply recieve a String Object from a method, and parse the string with SAX. any ideas?
i'm using xerces java 1.
many thanks,

It thinks your String is the name of a file. You need to turn the string into a Reader with StringReader or byte InputStream with StringBufferInputStream (deprecated).
