DOM document to Sax parser

[Ambika Jain]

Hello,

The client api provides us with a method that returns DOM document. The method processes the XML and the XML need not adhere to any schema.

In order to display the content of this document, I want to use SAX parser. Is there a way, I pass this document to SAX parser ?

Or, is there any other way to do this.

Thanks in advance,

I assume you have written a ContentHandler that you would like to plug into a SAXParser? Then do this:

DOMSource ds = new DOMSource(yourDOMDocument);
SAXResult sr = new SAXResult(yourContentHandler);
TransformerFactory tf = transformerFactory.newInstance();
Transformer tx = tf.newTransformer();
tx.transform(ds, sr);

If I am not mistaken this should call the methods in your ContentHandler.
