Question

URL url = new URL("http://www.site.com/1.xml");
SAXParserFactory factory = SAXParserFactory.newInstance();
SAXParser parser = factory.newSAXParser();
XMLHandler handler = new XMLHandler();
parser.parse(url.openStream(),handler);

Because 1.xml contains invalid XML characters, parser will throw exceptions, such as An invalid XML character (Unicode: 0x1d) was found in the CDATA section.
but if I read the 1.xml into a String and filter all invalid characters, string can’t be the argument of parser.parse() method.
what can I do ?

Looks like you can use java.io.StringReader to make a Reader from your string, then construct an org.xml.sax.InputSource using the StringReader. There’s a version of parse() that takes an InputSource argument.
