[jdom-interest] SAXBuilder.build out of memory on 138KB data

[Steve Swett]

I downloaded and built the latest code out of the CVS, and I still
experience the "out of memory" problem.  I separated the code, as below,
a tiny bit to trace it just a touch further:

      System.out.println("Before get input stream");
      InputStream myInputStream = connection.getInputStream();

      System.out.println("Before build doc");
      // Following statement causes "out of memory error" when running
for
      // all students.
      Document doc = builder.build( new InputStreamReader(myInputStream)
);
      System.out.println("After build doc");

There is no memory problem on the "connection.getInputStream()" step.
It happens on the "builder.build" step.

I've saved my "getInputStream()" data to a file so that you can see the
contents/format of the XML data.  Again, this works fine when there is
about one third as much data in this file.  The saved data file can be
accessed from this link:

I'm on Windows XP Pro with JDK 1.4.1_01.

Any other thoughts?

Thanks.

Make sure your are running the latest code out of the CVS and not the
beta 8 jar.
