XOM API for Processing XML with Java

["PG-Dillingham, Iain" <Iain.Dillingham.1 AT city.ac.uk>]

Thanks for your prompt reply.

I appreciate that the issue here lies with the W3C rejecting requests and 
noted the local DTD at Cafe con Leche. However, I wonder if you -- or another 
member of this list -- could suggest a work-around? I don't wish to validate 
the XML, merely parse and extract certain elements; ideally without storing 
the XML locally. Using XOM, is this possible for XML where the DTD is not 
accessible? Should I use SAX or DOM instead?

As I mentioned in my email I'm a Java beginner: XOM was highlighted as an 
excellent XML API for people like me!

Thanks for your time,

Iain

The W3C has begun rejecting requests for the XHTML DTDs that it
doesn't like. The Cafe con Leche pages point to local pages instead so
they don;t have this problem.
