parsing recursive XML with SAX

The last couple days I tried to parse a XML file but I got no success. Im using SAX parser but the XML is recursive and I don't know you to control de parsing.

The XML is quite extense, but below you can see a sample of how it is.

<root>
  <prop1>teste</prop1>
  <items>
     <item>
        <prop1>teste1</prop1>
        <items>         
          <item>开发者_如何学Go;
             <prop1>teste1.1</prop1>
             <items null />
          </item>
        </items>
     </item>
     <item>
       <prop1>teste1</prop1>
       <items null />
     </item>
  </items>
</root>

I don't know how to handle the loop inside the startElement and the endElement methods. Any help would be cool... thanks in advance.

This article shows how to employ the SAX API to map XML documents to Java objects.

Hope this helps you. Let me know if you have more doubts.

Thanks.
