Re: how to retrieve namespaces defined in an XML file

[Vijai Kalyan]

I have a very easy (albeit ugly) answer for that one.

Using the SAX parser as an example:


  1. Create a SAX parser.
  2. Parse your example file using a handler that extends
  DefaultHandler2.
  3. Override the method startPrefixMapping

Collect the namespaces and prefixes into a NamespaceContext object in the
overriden startPrefixMapping method.

Obviously, this is kinda slow but you can make it work in 20-30 mins.

hth,
