Sax parser : get tagcontent below child tag

Question

Is there a way to get CDATA tag content from the following xml tag (category):

 <category>
    <h1>Some data</h1>
    <![CDATA[<br> some data ...]]>
    <h1>Some data</h1>
    <![CDATA[<br> more data ...]]> 
</category>

Could somehow characters method get only content inside category tag but outside h1 tags?

Thanks

1. Override startCDATA() and endCDATA() methods in DefaultHandler2 implementation.

    DefaultHandler2 handler2 = new DefaultHandler2() { /* ... */ } 

2. Configure XMLReader

    SAXParser saxParser = SAXParserFactory.newInstance().newSAXParser(); XMLReader xmlReader = saxParser.getXMLReader(); xmlReader.setProperty("http://xml.org/sax/properties/lexical-handler", handler2); 

3. Start parsing

    saxParser.parse( /* input source */, handler2);
