Re: parsing an InputStream from HTTP

[Alistair Young]

I tried what Robert suggested but using JAXP but get the same 
SAXParseException - Premature end of file.
If I just use request.getInputStream() and write the bytes to file and 
then parse that it's fine. Parsing straight from the request doesn't 
seem to work for me though.

DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
factory.setNamespaceAware(true);
try {
  DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
  Document doc = builder.parse(new 
InputSource(request.getInputStream()));
}

thanks,
Alistair

Is there any way in Xerces/JAXP to parse an HTTP stream? I have an 
XML doc as POST data, received via HTTP. Create an InputStream for 
the bytes and pass it to DocumentBuilder.parse(InputStream). It 
always throws a premature end of file exception. The only way that 
works is to write it to file first, then parse it.
Show some code of your case.
    DocumentBuilderFactory builderFactory;
    ...
    (ServletRequest req, ServletResponse resp)
    DocumentBuilder builder = builderFactory.newDocumentBuilder();
    Document doc = builder.parse(req.getInputStream());
Does it work?
While it is not typically the case the ServletRequest.getParameter() 
documentation describes it could interfere with the 
ServletRequest.getInputStream() when the parameters are served with 
the request body (as it is the case with HTTP POST).
