The maximum length of java.lang.String

Question

Currently I working for intrepret an XML file and transform to another XML using XSLT based on the the DOM node reading concept.
I have a study that i need to input a String type of the XML file content, and the maximum size of the String is possibly 3MB.
However, I've tried to initialize using String object or String reference, finding that the there's runtime exception when the length of the String exceeds 64K.
I've read the VM spec telling that based on the UTF-8 encoding standard, we can't define primitive type (include String reference/object) that exceeds 64K.
Any suggestion of solving (or suggest some possible class that can be used to hold a data of 3MB size), Thanks !!

Currently I working for intrepret an XML file and
transform to another XML using XSLT based on the the
DOM node reading concept.
I have a study that i need to input a String type of
the XML file content, and the maximum size of the
String is possibly 3MB.
However, I've tried to initialize using String object
or String reference, finding that the there's runtime
exception when the length of the String exceeds 64K.Strings can exceed 64k. If you are getting a run time exception then it is due to something else.

encoding standard, we can't define primitive type
(include String reference/object) that exceeds 64K.No. It doesn't say that.
A literal, which the JVM creates a string instance from, can only be 64k bytes. But that does not limit the length of a String instance.
Any suggestion of solving (or suggest some possible
class that can be used to hold a data of 3MB size),
