Use any of the excellent Java-based SAX parsers available. So how to access a Java parser from a VB (COM) environment? I haven't tried doing this directly at the SAX level, though it's probably possible if you understand the intricacies of COM. What I did was to write a Java wrapper class around the SAXON library (http://home.iclweb.com/icl2/mhkay/saxon.html) and register this as a COM object using Microsoft's javareg utility. I designed the wrapper class to have a very simple interface: no exceptions, no callbacks, only strings and integers as parameters; I'm sure I restricted it unnecessarily but I had had problems bridging more complex interfaces so I was overcautious. The COM wrapper class is part of the SAXON distribution. As an alternative to Microsoft's javareg you ought to be able to use Sun's ActiveX Bridge but I spent a week trying to get it to work, while javareg worked for me first time. >Is this module used by the browser only or can I use it in my server >component? I've only tried using this server-side, generally from VBScript on ASP pages. I haven't had time to explore the complexities of client-side operation. Mike Kay xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers.
