It could happen when an entity reference is found, or if the text
fragment is bigger than the internal buffer; in any case you must expect
multiple invocations of the characters() method, that you must concatenate.
From
http://sax.sourceforge.net/apidoc/org/xml/sax/ContentHandler.html#characters%28char[],%20int,%20int%29:
The Parser will call this method to report each chunk of character data.
SAX parsers may return all contiguous character data in a single chunk,
or they may split it into several chunks; however, all of the characters
in any single event must come from the same external entity so that the
Locator provides useful information.

Hi -
Does anyone know why the characters method of the DefaultHandler class
breaks, and introduces a newline, whenever it encounters the ampersand
character in the input string. (I'm writing an XML parser.)
For example when the parser encounters the input string, "mergers&
acquisitions", the method DefaultHandler::characters(), shown below, returns
Input: mergers
Input:& acquisitions
Instead of
Input: mergers& acquisitions
Thanks,
- Olumide
//
void DefaultHandler::characters (const XMLCh *const chars, const
XMLSize_t length)
{
char* str = XMLString::transcode( chars );
cout<< "Input: "<< str<< endl;
}
