[jdom-interest] How to kill a parser - nicely

[Dennis Fuglsang]

The answer to this question may be simple, and I hope it is, but is there a
means to stop/terminate the parsing operation before it has completed
reading the entire document? I need to read only the header portion of a
number of potentially large documents and I would like to do it in near
constant time (independent of the document size).  I implemented my own SAX
ContentHandler in the hope that after reading the header information I could
then close the parser.  Well I have not discovered any "nice" way of doing
this yet.  I welcome any suggestions.  Thanks.
