"The Parser will call this method to report each chunk of character data. SAX parsers may return all contiguous character data in a single chunk, or they may split it into several chunks; however, all of the characters in any single event must come from the same external entity, so that the Locator provides useful information."
For more info, tutorials, etc. I would recommend you to look at Meggisons page ( The author of SAX API). at: http://www.megginson.com/SAX/SAX1/index.html Good luck, Jeffrey Rodriguez IBM SVL - Pervasive Technologies PS.
