Hi Dave, why not just let the XSP processor create the DOM nodes - and use the <xsp:logic/> and <xsp:expr/> tags to embed functionality in the output. If you need to control the addition of elements to the DOM in your own code, then use the <xsp:element/>, <xsp:attribute/> and <xsp:content/> tags - they'll be properly resolved, less coding and fewer errors as a result (and C2 SAX-based compatibility for free!).
eg. <xsp:page language="java" xmlns:xsp="http://www.apache.org/1999/XSP/Core";> <page> <xsp:content>Hello World!</xsp:content> <my-new-element>Some more text</my-new-element> </page> </xsp:page> ----- Original Message ----- From: Dave Neary <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, October 01, 2001 12:30 PM Subject: Passing document, request & resonse to other methods > > Hi all, > > Yet again, this may come across as a silly question, but it's kind of a > question on "best practice" - is it considered acceptable to pass > document & request to methods like I've done below?
