Hi I am very new to Xalan, Xerces and XML, but I have a problem that I
need to solve. I am hoping that somebody may be able to give me a few
suggestions which might stop me wading through piles of unfamiliar
documentation and source code.
I would like to adapt a library that I am using that uses XPath from
Xalan. At the moment the library reads very large XML files entirely in
to memory. The files that I am using contains either a BLOB or a very
structured xml table as one of the elements. I would like to modify the
library in order to :
Continue using XPATH / XALAN
I would like to prevent the data from part of the tree being loaded in to
memory. Is this possible and how is it done?
I would also like to be able to obtain a pointer to the place in the file
where this tag starts, so I can use a non-DOM method to read this data.
Is this possible? Are there any suggestions about how I should go about
doing this?
Thanks for any help.
