Get the content of node with SAX parser

[John Landon]

Hi,
I am using our sax parser implementation. Without knowing the details of the implemetation:
I can't access the content of a node directly. so if this is sent: <book name="hello">content</book>. I cannot get both the attribute and the content of the node. To do it I need to get
<book name="hello"><value>content</value></book>
so can I get read of the value node/
Thanks.

Well, to get text nodes via a SAX parser you just use the characters() method in your handler. I don't understand the part of your question where you wrap the text node in a new <value> element. What's that supposed to mean? It's still a text node, just one level deeper in the tree.

See the XML FAQ page for precautions when using the characters method to accumulate the contents of Text nodes.
