This article needs an update. JAXP 1.3 is now the current version, and "Mustang" has left the stable as version 1.6. Someone (heh maybe even me) needs to update the article, remove the "Out of Date" template marker, and this discussion. Dr algorythm 00:03, 11 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Stax (both API and Sun's SJSXP implementation) was indeed added to Mustang, so I (Cowtowncoder) updated references. But since I'm relatively new contributor, I thought I'll leave marker in initially in case I messed something up. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cowtowncoder (talk • contrihhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhbs) 21:00, 20 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Could we have an example of how to use this technology.

I don't think it's necessary to use a org.xml.sax.helpers.DefaultHandler - that just provides convenient implementations of some of the interfaces which are required to be used. It would be better to say something like "by invoking methods on the ContentHandler, the ErrorHandler, the DTDHandler, and the EntityResolver interfaces, typically provided by an instance of a class derived from org.xml.sax.helpers.DefaultHandler".

I'm not sufficiently familiar with SAX to feel authoritive enough to make this change, though. EdDavies 22:50, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
