ты пробовал таким образом?
SAXParserImpl saxparser = new SAXParserImpl();
ResponseHandler handler = new ResponseHandler();
ByteArrayInputStream stream = new ByteArrayInputStream(xmlresp.getBytes());
public class ResponseHandler extends DefaultHandler
{
public void startElement(String uri, String localName,
String qName,Attributes attributes) {}
public void characters(char[] ch, int start, int length)
{
tempVal = new String(ch, start, length);
}
public void endElement(String uri, String localName,
String qName) throws SAXException {}
}
