Java / Pocket PC Xml Parsing

Hi

I am developing a CDC/Personal Profile 1.0 application which is to run on Pocket PC 2003. I need to parse xml. For that i am using kxml.

The JVM i am using is CrE-ME 4.1

I used the follwing code to parse xml (tried from the string as well as from file).

XmlParser parser = null ;
String xml = "<channel><item><title>Reader</title><link>www.rfidreaders.com</link><description>Reader are used to read tag information</description></item></channel>" ;

Reader reader = new StringReader(xml) ;

try
{
parser = new XmlParser(reader);
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
//log error to file.
}

//log message: xml doc loaded.

But after this line is hit "parser = new XmlParser(reader);", there is no exception being thrown nor any code after that is executing.

I tried putting the kxml jar in the Creme's lib folder, but the result is the same.

Thanks in advance
Prashant

Don't you have to call parser.parse()?

No. i am using the following code after that "parser = new XmlParser(reader);"

ParseEvent pe = null;
parser.skip();
parser.read(Xml.START_TAG, null, "channel");
pe = parser.read();

Think it should be more like

pe = parser.read(Xml.START_TAG, null, "channel");
String text = pe.getText();

I am using pe.getText() to read.

But the problem is after the line "parser = new XmlParser(reader);" no code is executing. I checked it by giving some logging comments.
Also no exception is being thrown.

Hi

I found the solution to the problem.

Actually the kxml i had downloaded form the site was in .zip format.
I renamed it to .jar and it worked.

Please tell me how to get my points refunded.

How did you compile it then?
