How to use SAXParse to parse atom feed with java

Question

I use the SAXParser to parse RSS feed that was prepared for iTunes podcast. It doesn't want work with these tags. If I remove all marked tags it will work. The mainly task to get info from item tags

That's DefaultHandler:

public class StudyHandler extends DefaultHandler {
private List<Track> track;
private Track currentTrack;
private StringBuilder builder;

boolean isTitle = false;

public List<Track> getMessages() {
    return this.track;
}

@Override
public void characters(char[] ch, int start, int length)
        throws SAXException {
    super.characters(ch, start, length);
    builder.append(ch, start, length);
    if (isTitle) {
        currentTrack.title = builder.toString();
    }
}

@Override
public void startDocument() throws SAXException {
    super.startDocument();

    track = new ArrayList<Track>();
    builder = new StringBuilder();
}

@Override
public void startElement(String uri, String localName, String name,
        Attributes attributes) throws SAXException {
    super.startElement(uri, localName, name, attributes);
    String value = localName.trim();
    if (value.equalsIgnoreCase("ITEM")) {
        this.currentTrack = new Track();
    } else if (value.equalsIgnoreCase("TITLE")) {
        isTitle = true;
    }

}

@Override
public void endElement(String uri, String localName, String name)
        throws SAXException {
    super.endElement(uri, localName, name);

    if (this.currentTrack != null) {
        if (localName.equalsIgnoreCase("TITLE")) {
            isTitle = false;
        } else if (localName.equalsIgnoreCase("ITEM")) {
            track.add(currentTrack);
        }
        builder.setLength(0);
    }
}
}

Answer 1

When you try to trace each start/end tag operation or in debug mode, do you note that the parser is parsing the tags?
