This may be the wrong forum, but I hope someone knows this answer. I’m using Java 1.4 with the default parser and JDOM. I process an XML document that has comments in it. After getting a good Document object, my code has:

            Filter comments = new ContentFilter( ContentFilter.COMMENT );

            List commentList = newPrelDoc.getContent( comments );

            System.out.println( "commentList size is: " + commentList.size());

And, I’m getting a value of zero as the size. (A) Is this the right way to use this filter? (B) Is it known that the default parser blocks comments? (C) Is there a magic incantation to get it to pass comments along? (D) Does a different parser pass comments through?

Thanks.
