Hi there, i'm trying to parse a large xml file with dom4j and SAXReader. My code works fine with small files but with the large ones (320 MB) I get a "OutOfMemory" exception (Exception in thread "main" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError it says). Is there any tip you can give me? I've tried to execute the code giving more memory to java (with the "-mx512MB option) but although it lasted for longer it finally failed. "Any help or advice would be great. Thanks in advance. Cheers,
Bittor. PS: This is the snippet of my code where it failes: InputStream input = Test.class.getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream(batchName); // BatchName is the xml file I want to read BufferedInputStream bufferedStream = new BufferedInputStream(input, 32*1024); SAXReader reader = new SAXReader(); System.out.println("Parsing XML file - Start"); Document document = reader.read(bufferedStream); // WITHOUT "-mx512M" it fails HERE System.out.println("Parsing XML file - End"); pictureList = document.selectNodes( "//one/two/three" ); // WITH "-mx512M" it fails HERE ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
