RE: runtime ExceptionInInitializerError: first steps

[Oleg Tkachenko]

Hello!   InputSource class have the only String constructor and that String is supposed to be system id (URI), for example, file name. See http://www.saxproject.org/apidoc/org/xml/sax/InputSource.html for more info. If you want to create InputSource from serialized xml you need something like new InputSource(new StringReader(src)) --- Oleg Tkachenko, Multiconn International, Israel -----Original Message----- From: Massimiliano Cuccia [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, May 17, 2002 4:05 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: runtime ExceptionInInitializerError: first steps I have a problem in running this code ...
