[jdom-interest] java.lang.OutOfMemoryError

Environment:
  JDK 1.3
  Xerces (one that ships with JDOM)
  JDOM b-6

I am trying to read a 90 MB XML file and keep getting
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError 's.  I have added -Xms320m -Xmx320m to my
command lind but it still fails.

It happens at the following line:

  Document doc = builder.build(new File(filename));

There appears to be about 130,000 records with approximately 20 elements
for each.  It is a simple XML file of the form:

<employees>
  <employeeprofile>
     <lastname>Doe</lastname>
     <firstname>John</firstname>
      ... etc ...
    </employeeprofile>
 <employees>

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks,

D Archer
