Java XML Parsing and original byte offsets?

The SAX API provides a rather obscure mechanism for this - the org.xml.sax. Locator interface. When you use the SAX API, you subclass DefaultHandler and pass that to the SAX parse methods, and the SAX parser implementation is supposed to inject a Locator into your DefaultHandler via setDocumentLocator() .

As the parsing proceeds, the various callback methods on your ContentHandler are invoked (e.g. StartElement() ), at which point you can consult the Locator to find out the parsing position (via getColumnNumber() and getLineNumber() ).

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
