Question

I get an xml response from an external server.

Using some tutorials I got SAX-Parser working.

There is a small problem still remaining.

Within the response there is e.g. description tag containing html like this:

<description><p><strong>Title</strong></p>Description</description> 

After parsing description field of my object contains only “<“.

Is it possible to tell my parser to handle html as plain text?

Or maybe there are other possibilities to solve this problem.

Thank you.

since you don’t include your code, i have to imagine what you wrote. a common bug in SAX handler implementations is not handling the fact that the element text may be returned in multiple characters() method calls. you need to aggregate them all together until you get the endElement() event.
