MSXML for Java Questions

[Chris Lovett]

The encoding attribute should work great in the IE5 version of MSXML.  
Please send me the specific case you had trouble with.  Thanks.

Erik, thank you for your answer. I've been out of town for a few days, so I
wasn't able to respond earlier.

So, what you're saying is that you don't advise me to use IE5 XML parser.
Well, I've made quite a progress in the meantime. I've stopped using old XML
parser for java and started using COM wrapper for MSXML, that is built in
IE5. The only problem I had by now was my inability to specify encoding of
an XML document (which could be quite a problem, because I live in Slovenia
and we don't use ASCII or ISO Latin1). I've decided to postpone a problem to
some better time.

What are the bugs you were talking about (besides encoding, which generates
error for no reason known to me)? I've kept XML quite simple and it's worked
quite well by now.

What solution would you recommend? The advantage of using IE5 built-in is
huge. The system we're developing is going to a large distributed system
that will work in IE5 (client's specification). The application will run in
applets on client machines, so minimizing the transfer is on the top of
priority list.

Do you know of any XML parser for java, that is really small and works well?
If so, I'd be happy to know about it, too.

Thanks again,

Marko.
