Another (simpler) Java SAX parser solution

Hi,

according to page 489 dear authors wrote:

Code:

XMLReader reader = XMLReaderFactory.createXMLReader("org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser");
reader.setContentHandler(this);
reader.parse(filename);

I don't get why authors wrote imports (two Java classes):

Code:

import javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory;
import javax.xml.parsers.SAXParser;

and then did not use them, confusing thing for me. Never mind.

I think this can be done simpler without outside SAX Parser (xerces) configuration (with CLASSPATH variable settings) by this code (instead of above):

Code:

SAXParserFactory factory = SAXParserFactory.newInstance();
SAXParser reader = factory.newSAXParser();
reader.parse(filename, this);

Of course above imports getting necessary now.

Kind regards
