[Htmlparser-developer] HTMLReader design needs to be modified (dev opinion solicited)

[Somik R. <so...@ya...>]

Hi Folks,   =20
    We've come up with an interesting problem - there was a request by =
Steve Harrington recently that we support multiple-sequential parsing, =
i.e. use the same parser object multiple times to parse instead of =
creating a new one each time.

    Unfortunately this has caused us to play around with the reader and =
try to mark and reset streams. This is not such a good idea as for large =
streams there is no guarantee that a reset will work. Leslie suggests =
that we note this in the javadoc, and roll back this feature.=20

    Our complete bug report and discussion is at =
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=3Ddetail&aid=3D649133&grou=
p_id=3D24399&atid=3D381399

    The bug id is #649133. A discussion of this bug is in order, and it =
would be good if developers can participate with their views.=20
    Steve --> It will be good to hear your views on this.

Regards,
Somik
