Hi Dims,
+1, Please throw in an interface for someone to write a custom builder and plug it in as well.
That's the tricky part.. We already have the hierachy starting from StaxBuilder. There's is an inteface called OMStaxParserWrapper, but nobodyt seem to be using it.. It'll be bit hard to plugin another interface at this moment of time. Becuase of that I thought of using StaxBuilder as the abstract class.. To be honest this will not be easy for the users..
On a related note...Do you think a builder will need access to the whole MessageContext and not just the content-type?
For the moment I thought of using the content-type and the inputstream.. But ideally this decision will be based on how deep we are going to use the builders. It would be nice if we can let the builders to handle the attachment stuff too, but it's simply not possible since Axiom is not aware of MessageContext. Thanks, Thilina
