Judith, it seems the problem has been solved by filtering out some characters (using the "characters()" method) from the input file and deleting both XML header and "DOCTYPE" from the string containing the SVG.
I know this solution is weirder than the original problem... but that's a fact :( Anyway, thanks for the code you've provided us :) Best regards, Luca Morandini [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] > -----Messaggio originale----- > Da: Andres, Judith [mailto:Judith.Andres@;rauser-ag.com] > Inviato: lunedì 11 novembre 2002 11.59 > A: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Oggetto: AW: R: Strings to SAX events > > > Hallo Luca, > > this is a bit of a hack, but it seems to work. > > HTH > Judith > > <<TestTransformer.java>> > > > -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- > > Von: Luca Morandini [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > > Gesendet am: Montag, 11.
