I have written a SAX program to parse an XML document. But the XML document does contains newline characters. I want to replace every newline character with a space. Is there any callback method for this and how do I do this?

<address>St John Road
         Postcode 56</address>
My output: is St John Road
              Postcode 56

required output: St John Road Postcode 56

The text node is notified to the characters() event in your ContentHandler, which can modify the content any way it likes.

The parser is allowed to make multiple calls on characters(), dividing the text into fragments any way it likes, so you should buffer it up and process it the next time endElement or startElement is called.
