SAX Parser How to break once i get required values

[Sanjay Ra]

Hi,

I am using a SAX Parser (xerces) .
I dont need to parse the entire XML and would like to stop parsing once i get certain values.
How could i do this?

thanks
Sanjay

You could just throw some custom RuntimeException and catch it outside the call to parse(). Certainly not too pretty but at least it works.

is this the only way ?

thanks!
