SAXParser InputStream problem - URGENT

Question

hi
i'm trying to parse a a xml document as an inputstream, but every time i try to compile the code the following error appears:
"Incompatible type for method. Can't convert java.io.InputStream to java.lang.String".
the parse constructor as an inputstream input parameter. i don't know why this error happens.
the code is something like this:
Parser parser = new SAXParser();
InputStream is =null;
parser.setDocumentHandler(sample);
parser.setEntityResolver(sample);
parser.setDTDHandler(sample);
parser.setErrorHandler(sample);
//some code
//texto_xml is a CLOB variable
is = texto_xml.getAsciiStream();
parser.parse(is);
can someone help me?
thanks in advanced

Also, use the factory to get your SAX Parser instance:
SAXParserFactory factory=SAXParserFactory.newInstance();
factory.setValidating( true ); //set true to validate content against DTD
SAXParser parser = factory.newSAXParser();
