XML - Making use of Parsed Contents

Question

Hi all,
i would like to know how i can make use of XML data - gotten from a URL as a data stream- which i parsed using the SAX parser....
code looks something like this:
DefaultHandler handler = new indexParser();
SAXParser saxParser = SAXParserFactory.newInstance().newSAXParser();
try {
URL url = new URL("http://www.xmlData/contentindex");
InputStream is = url.openStream(); // --> filestream!?
saxParser.parse(is,handler);
*...etc etc....*How do i make use of the data to say: put it into an SWT / Swing table...such that the content is sorted according to root elements and tags.
i need to:
1. filter out the tags,...put these as table headers
2. fill out the table with the extracted contents.
thanks in advance...
-afro.

oh sorry i missed that you had in fact written your own handler.
There are a bunch of ways you can handle this. In your handler, you can accumulate state as you parse the xml, then after parsing get it. Or, you can have your handler methods invoke some callbacks that are tied into whatever code needs the information.
why dont you show the relevant parts of your handler implementation?
