org.xml.sax.helper Event problems

[yhou]

Trying to use org.xml.sax parser, extended DefaultHandler to
handle my xml while parsing.

However, DefaultHandler.characters(...) were called twice while
parsing one text element. Seems two events were fired instead of one,
and this only happens occasionally.

Any idea what could have caused this behavior?

Ah, but it happens consistently, i.e. consistent with the format
of the data in the XML. Take a close look at the source file,
paying particular attention to line-splitting (esp. before and
after start/end tags). Then correlate this with the behaviour
you see.
