SAX requires a compiled language - there are implementations for Java, VB
and C++ - so you can't implement SAX parsers directly in CF, a non-compiled
scripting environment.
You could modify the Java classes so they can be called from a CF page; for
this, you have choices of calling them directly with CFOBJECT, modifying
them so they're useable as a Java-based CFX custom tag, or running them on
JRUN and calling them with CFSERVLET.

> The application uses XML documents as templates, and executes

> For instance, the XML template might look like this:
>
> <page>
> <article id="227" />
> </page>

> The Java app uses a SAX parser to parse the template, which fires off an

> When the parser sees the "page" tag, it runs the PAGE java class, which
> goes off into the database and gets page info, etc. and spits out more
> XML to the output stream.
>
> Same for the article tag, which calls the ARTICLE class., etc.
