               SAXParser parser = SAXParserFactory.newInstance().newSAXParser();
               XMLReader reader = parser.getXMLReader();
               reader.setContentHandler(this);
               reader.parse(in);
          catch(ParserConfigurationException pce)
               System.out.println(pce);
          catch(SAXException se)
               System.out.println(se);
