Hi I am very new to Xalan, Xerces and XML, but I have a problem that I need to solve. I am hoping that somebody may be able to give me a few suggestions which might stop me wading through piles of unfamiliar documentation and source code.
I would like to adapt a library that I am using that uses XPath from Xalan. At the moment the library reads very large XML files entirely in to memory. The files that I am using contains either a BLOB or a very structured xml table as one of the elements. I would like to modify the library in order to : Continue using XPATH / XALAN I would like to prevent the data from part of the tree being loaded in to memory. Is this possible and how is it done? I would also like to be able to obtain a pointer to the place in the file where this tag starts, so I can use a non-DOM method to read this data. Is this possible? Are there any suggestions about how I should go about doing this? Thanks for any help. David Rohde
