Creating an Input Factory

The next step is to create an instance of XMLInputFactory. In this case, various properties are also set on the factory:

XMLInputFactory xmlif = null ;
try {
    xmlif = XMLInputFactory.newInstance();
    xmlif.setProperty(
        XMLInputFactory.IS_REPLACING_ENTITY_REFERENCES,
        Boolean.TRUE);
    xmlif.setProperty(
        XMLInputFactory.IS_SUPPORTING_EXTERNAL_ENTITIES,
        Boolean.FALSE);
    xmlif.setProperty(XMLInputFactory.IS_NAMESPACE_AWARE,
        Boolean.TRUE);
    xmlif.setProperty(XMLInputFactory.IS_COALESCING,
        Boolean.TRUE);
} catch (Exception ex) {
    ex.printStackTrace();
}
System.out.println("FACTORY: " + xmlif);
System.out.println("filename = "+ filename);
