Hello,
I'm trying to parse with SAX a XML file coming from remote device, but i Tomcat shows me error message as:
Apache Tomcat/4.0.4 - HTTP Status 404 -
http:\localhost:8080\fieldgate\output1.xml (Syntax file name or directory or volume is wrong)
code is:
<jsp:useBean id="parser" scope="page" class="beans.xml.sax.SAXParserBean" />
<%  Collection elements = parser.parse("http://localhost:8080/fieldgate/output1.xml");
    Iterator it = elements.iterator();
%>
.........Someone can help me please?

Ok this code is not mine but is taken from a manual:
package beans.xml.sax;
import java.io.FileReader;
import org.xml.sax.Attributes;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.Vector;
import org.xml.sax.Attributes;
import org.xml.sax.InputSource;
import org.xml.sax.SAXException;
import org.xml.sax.XMLReader;
import org.xml.sax.helpers.DefaultHandler;
import org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser;
public class SAXParserBean extends DefaultHandler {
   private Vector vector = new Vector();
   private SAXElement currentElement = null;
   private String elementText;
   public Vector parse(String filename) throws SAXException,
                                               IOException {
      XMLReader xmlReader = new SAXParser();
      FileReader fileReader = new FileReader(filename);
      xmlReader.setContentHandler(this);
      xmlReader.parse(new InputSource(fileReader));
      return vector;
   public void startElement(String uri, String localName,
                            String qName, Attributes attrs) {
      currentElement = new SAXElement(uri,localName,qName,attrs);
      vector.addElement(currentElement);
      elementText = new String();
   public void characters(char[] chars, int start, int length) {
      if(currentElement != null && elementText != null) {
         String value = new String(chars, start, length);
         elementText += value;
   public void endElement(String uri, String localName,
                          String qName) {
      if(currentElement != null && elementText != null)
         currentElement.setValue(elementText.trim());
      currentElement = null;
}
