Newbie question: How to use SAX with Eclipse? [message #5353]

Hi,

I'm trying to develop a SAX application to read and parse an XML document
and output it to another file. However, I can't seem to figure out which
parser to use in Eclipse in the XMLReader object.

As it is, what I have done so far:
//
package xml2;
import org.xml.sax.*;
....
//Default parser to use
private String parserClass= "org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser";
....
//Create instances needed for parsing
XMLReader reader = XMLReaderFactory.createXMLReader(parserClass);
....
//rest of code

For some reason, while this code compiles, it gives me a runtime error:
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser
at
org.xml.sax.helpers.XMLReaderFactory.createXMLReader(XMLRead erFactory.java:1
21)
at SAXTreeViewer.buildTree(SAXTreeViewer.java:49)
at SAXTreeViewer.init(SAXTreeViewer.java:38)
at SAXTreeViewer.main(SAXTreeViewer.java:66

Anyone have any suggestions, comments, advice please?

Thanks,

Looks like a classpath problem. First of all you have created a java
project.
Then you placed your code in. Next step is to add the external libs (like
your xerces
parser). As far as I remember it the createXMLReader method uses forName
therefore
it wont through an compile exception on runtime.

You can add additional libraries in preferences of the project(project
contextmenu
(leftclick on project)). I think that helps.

Another solution is to stop using xerces and use the xml facility which is
shipped with
SDK 1.4. Look at the xml tutorial at java.sun.com.

I hope I could provide a solution,

Thanks, Martin - I'll try that
=)
