Hi Michael, I suggest for any reasonable size dataset you use the StreamingParser:
StreamingParser parser = new StreamingParser(configuration,"//gml:featureMember"); try{ Feature f = null; while ( ( f = parser.parse() ) != null ) { ... } }... } Some more info about streaming here: http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOTDOC/GML+XML+Support -Justin Michael Lutz wrote: > We are running into big memory problems when trying to parse large GML > files containing WFS feature collections (e.g. 25000 points, about 25MB > as GML) using the following code: > > public static FeatureCollection readFromInputStream(InputStream in) { > Configuration configuration = new WFSConfiguration(); > Parser parser = new Parser(configuration); > try{ > FeatureCollection fc = (FeatureCollection) parser.parse( in ); > in.close(); > return fc; > } ... > } > > For this example, the used memory goes up to 800MB.
