在Java中使用SAX解析XML

Question

I have this code to parse XML data ..

But when startelement and endelement functions are called they don't get the parameters values ( as name parameter don't have any data ) when tying to print the parameters values. it dont't have any value, why ?

I call updateArticle function in the following code

import java.io.IOException;
import java.net.MalformedURLException;
import java.net.URL;
import java.util.ArrayList;

import javax.xml.parsers.ParserConfigurationException;
import javax.xml.parsers.SAXParser;
import javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory;

import org.xml.sax.Attributes;
import org.xml.sax.InputSource;
import org.xml.sax.SAXException;
import org.xml.sax.XMLReader;
import org.xml.sax.helpers.DefaultHandler;


    public class RSSHandler extends DefaultHandler {

            // Used to define what elements we are currently in
            private boolean inItem = false;
            private boolean inTitle = false;
            private boolean inLink = false;

            // Feed and Article objects to use for temporary storage
            private Article currentArticle = new Article();
            private Feed currentFeed = new Feed();

            // Number of articles added so far
            private int articlesAdded = 0;

            private ArrayList<Article> articles = new ArrayList<Article>(); 
            private ArrayList<Feed> feeds = new ArrayList<Feed>(); 
            // Number of articles to download
            private static final int ARTICLES_LIMIT = 15;

            // The possible values for targetFlag
            private static final int TARGET_FEED = 0;
            private static final int TARGET_ARTICLES = 1;

            // A flag to know if looking for Articles or Feed name

Answer 1

One of the most appalling design decisions in JAXP (and there were many) was that SAXParserFactory by default creates a parser that is not namespace-aware. Always call setNamespaceAware(true) on the returned parser. Otherwise, the XMLReader will call startElement using the options defined for a non-namespace-aware parser, which means it will supply the lexical QName, but not the local-name and URI.

Answer 2

The qName parameter contains the element name.

Here's an example although it's hard to read because of formatting.

Namespacing etc. makes a difference in where/how to get at element names.
