[dom4j-user] Steaming using simple paths

[marcus]

I've been using dom4j for a long while and I like it a lot. But, lately, 
I've sort of been forced to use XOM/NUX/Saxon for a special feature and 
I don't really like that. So the question is if I can do the same with 
DOM4J.

I want:
To specify a simple xpath-like expression (nothing fancy, don't even 
require any kind of predicates (although it could be nice to have) and 
the only needed axis is the child axis) and feed into a streaming parser 
and when it hits a node matching the expression it calls a callback 
interface with a node for the match. That is, if the match is an element 
with a lot of content, the callback will be fed a dom4j element with all 
contents. This way I can parse large documents without having it all in 
memory (some parts may never be matched at all (although still parsed I 
guess)) while still using dom4j in a pretty "normal" way.

Is this possible? I'm open to do some coding to make it happen if 
someone can give some good pointers.

Thanks,

/Marcus
