java and xml

[JimmyMac]

While parseing an xml document( sax parser ), trying to replace ' | ' with
' & ' , it finds the pipe, but won't replace with amper.

public void characters (char ch[], int start, int length)
{
if( choice_text )
{
choice = new String(ch).substring(start,start + length);

// choice.replace( ' | ' , ' & ' ); // didn't work

XMLChoices[XMLquestion_text_counter][choice_counter] = choice;

}
//..............
for (int i = start; i < start + length; i++) {

switch (ch[i]) {
case '|':

ch[i] = '&';

break;

any help?

Remember, Strings are immutable (ie, can not change).

It does work, choice.replace returns a new string with the replced
characters, but you just throw this result away.

I have downloaded the Orion JSP (J2EE compliant) server and am trying to do
CGI-type work with it. At a standstill. I have the WROX JSP book, and it
mentions servlet-based processing to complete work once done with CGI, and
the book leaves me hanging there.

Can anyone advise?

Thanks

If it's a JSP book, then certainly it says more about using both servlets
and JSPs than you let on. If not, return it and buy a real book.

If your question is more specific than that, please ask your specific
question.
