Hi Sean,
Excellent!
I forgot to mention one very significant detail in my original email:
Using a non-DOM implementation can be significantly faster. Just
looking at the
timing of the matching test cases, the non-DOM XML tree we've got
running looks
to run the test cases against the XML Security library approximately
30% faster,
at least that was a pattern I noticed a while back.
Great. I haven't looked at your code yet, but did you implement a JSR
105 provider using GenXDM? When we designed the JSR 105 API, one of
our goals was to design it so that non-DOM implementations could be
plugged in. I would be curious as to your experience with that and how
well the API fit your needs.
I'm guessing that would be this issue:
http://code.google.com/a/apache-extras.org/p/santuario-genxdm/issues/detail?id=10
I certainly had to touch that code. For JDK 1.6 compatibility, I renamed
the implementation from org.jcp.... to org.apache.jcp.... Given what
I've seen, I think writing the support will go pretty quickly.
I suspect the real work here is that duplicating all the test cases that
use the existing JSR 105 code, but instead of using DOM, will have to
use GenXDM.
I was inspired by your questions to throw together a page describing
some of the key differences of this port from the official project:

Thanks for sending the link to your project, it sounds interesting
and I will
try to check it out in more detail when I have more time.

You might have noticed the addition of:
http://code.google.com/a/apache-extras.org/p/santuario-genxdm/
to the "Apache Extras" hosted site.
This project aims to be a fully compatible port of the existing XML
Security
APIs that works using the GenXDM APIs that we've been developing,
instead of
DOM. We brought the GenXDM project
<http://code.google.com/p/genxdm/> to the
attention of the Apache Incubator some time back (we called in gXML
at the time
<http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/gXMLProposal>).
Our overall aim is to bring GenXDM back to Apache for incubation,
so that ports
of libraries like XML Security can then build on top of the
capabilities of
GenXDM. To that end, we've done this particular port to attract
interest, and to
prove out the potential, and the capabilities.
We have, with this port, demonstrated the ability to use the full
functionality
of the XML Security library over non-DOM XML trees, including a new
set of tests
that verify using non-DOM trees with the updated XML Security APIs.
Please come look at what we've got! Let us know what you think.
Better yet, join
the GenXDM project, and help us make it a success!
-Eric.
