Custom Generators - SAX

[Brian Delahunty]

Hi,   I'm not sure if this is where I should be asking this.   I'm writing a custom generator that needs to just return an XML document that's contained within a String. Now in the past I have used code like this [Simple Hello-World]: public class SMSGenerator extends AbstractGenerator {     AttributesImpl emptyAttr = new AttributesImpl();     public void generate() throws SAXException     {         contentHandler.startDocument();         contentHandler.startElement("", "abc", "def", emptyAttr);         contentHandler.characters("Hello World".toCharArray(), 0, "Hello World".length());         contentHandler.endElement("","abc", "def");         contentHandler.endDocument();     } }   I now have the XML file in a String and I need this to be "returned" by the generator. I was just wondering if anybody knew how to do that without going through the String, breaking it into "Elements" and "characters"   Thanks in advance   Brian
