Re: parsing an InputStream from HTTP

I tried what Robert suggested but using JAXP but get the same 
SAXParseException - Premature end of file.
If I just use request.getInputStream() and write the bytes to file and 
then parse that it's fine. Parsing straight from the request doesn't 
seem to work for me though.
DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
factory.setNamespaceAware(true);
try {
  DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
  Document doc = builder.parse(new 
InputSource(request.getInputStream()));
}

thanks,
Alistair
