[jdom-interest] Facing problem reading comments data, need help

[Tatu Saloranta]

Alternatively, perhaps the simplest way would be to let TagSoup and JDom add comment nodes, but then just post-process doc and remove them. Using xpath that'd be half a dozen lines of code or less.

For the first approach, you could easily try:
- subclassing SAXBuilder
- override createContentHandler
- in a class that extends org.jdom.input.SAXHandler
- the latter of which overrides the comment method (or so) to not  
pass it to the parent class
I agree it sounds convoluted but it is fairly easy. If doubtful, you  
can see such an extension at:

omdocjdom/OJSAXBuilder.java

hope that helps
