I am going to have to run the process of getting approval from our VP. I have done this once before without problems on my open source project so it shouldn't be a problem(I get access on a per project basis). This means I can't give the code yet.
I can give an overview. In Configuration.getParser(String), I just set the javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory to the 1.4 parser(org.apache.crimson.jaxp.SAXParserFactoryImpl). I then returned a new XMLReaderAdapter wrapping that reader parser I had retrieved. I returned this before any of the configuration of the parser happened(Basically commented out all the code in getParser function. This naturally ignored all the configuration that would have been done. I might look into this later and see what types of configuration on the parser has so much of a performance effect. I would think the validation might be a hit, but I had turned that off originally and did not see a performance improvement. I will be looking into this further later on when I have time. I will send more mail when I narrow it down to what exactly is creating this performance hit.

Just an FYI for those who need to improve performance. My group needed this as we needed to be in the microseconds per small message. Now we can proceed with Castor and I am very very happy to be able to use castor now. I was timing castor at 2.5 ms per small message. In the Configuration class, under getParser(String), I replaced the parser to 1.4.1_01's default by setting the javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory property. This improved performance by 5 times. I think this happened not because of actually the act of switching Parsers, but due to the fact of all the configuration that was done to the original parser. The act of replacing it at this location in the code stopped all the configuration from happening. Hope this is helpful to others out there, Dean ----------------------------------------------------------- If you wish to unsubscribe from this mailing, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of: unsubscribe castor-dev----------------------------------------------------------- If you wish to unsubscribe from this mailing, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of: unsubscribe castor-dev
