I am getting String from third party i.e. content of above xml
document/file in string.
my requirement is instead of reading from xml file, I need to read it
from String.

Could any one help me.

Thanking in Advance

Thanks.

I have made the following changes.
    xmlString = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>" +
                   "\n<Account>" +
                   "\n <Customer>" +
                   "\n <AcctNo>9774</AcctNo>" +
                   "\n <Name>" +
                   "\n <FirstName>Sanjeev</FirstName>" +
                   "\n </Name>" +
                   "\n <Balance>50000</Balance>" +
                   "\n </Customer>"+
                   "\n</Account>";
            System.out.println("XML String = " + xmlString);
            sp.parse(new InputSource(new
ByteArrayInputStream(xmlString.getBytes())));

But I am getting the foolowing error.
IFXParser.java:56: cannot find symbol
symbol : class InputSource
location: class IFXParser
                sp.parse(new InputSource(new
ByteArrayInputStream(xmlSting.getBytes())));

Do I need to import any particular package?

Thanking in Advance
