I am writing an app that will be consuming these PlayerData chunks as
they come in over the network.  Since I do not have the real (live)
source of the data available yet, I am trying to build a 'generator' to
simulate a stream by reading data from a file, packing it into a network
message and sending to my app. I wanted to take advantage of the
Start/End Element handlers to break up the file into the PlayerData
chunks that would form the message payload.  I know I could do this with
C++ streams but I already had all of the XML parsing, handlers, etc., in
place, just had to open the file.  
Also, any advice, links to patterns/examples, etc. about handling
incoming XML data like this would be appreciated.  I feel like there are
capabilities that I am not using or at least not using in the best way.
As always, thank you for your assistance.  (Sorry if this is a bit
scattered - trying to get it out before I have to go to a meeting.)

Jonathan

Off the top of my head, I would say you could just send the file you're
parsing, but hopefully you meant something else.  Can you describe what
you want to do in more detail?
