Um...  You seem to be constructing an InputSource (the normal
way to invoke SAX-ish parsers, then calling the 
parse(String, DefaultHandler) method.  This interprets the
String argument as a URI, and will be trying to load data
from that.

If you try saxParser.parse(source, this) you might have a bit
more luck...



(PS.  Why are you loading the data into memory first?  The parser
works perfectly well parsing data directly from a stream)


Hope this helps,

   Thomas.
