XMl element value getting truncated.

[jojoseph]

I am trying to parse a clob from a table in oracle database, on unix box (its a live box and no debug options)
following is what I am doing. I am extending default handler.


public void characters(char[] arg0, int arg1, int arg2) throws SAXException
{
String text = new String(arg0,arg1,arg2);
String errNum = null;

if(harvest==true)
{
errNum=text;


qsType = (String)errNumbers.get(errNum);
harvest=false;
}
if(shallWrite == true)
{
write(text);
}

}

but randomly the value (text) is getting truncated like

a value present as 5012 becomes 50 or 7114 becomes 711

I am not able to to make out what is happening. any help would be highly aprciated.

I spooled the clob into a file and ran it windows environment and it worked fine.

I think this is more a question for the Java forum

Anyway, maybe the error is not in the piece of code you're showing. I'd print the arguments of the function when it begins.
