Well,
I do have all object create in an XML Producer class but I have
probably 120 objects that can be produced as XML. Also another option
that I was look at was returning null for the
DocumentFactory.createText and then in the AbstractElement class in the
addText(String) method checking for null returned from the
DocumentFactory. If the node isn't null then it would at it to the tree
otherwise it would do nothing. This way there is no consumption of
memory and no logical testing for null needed anywhere else on Text
nodes. Does this sound a little better?
Thanks

Allowing null values could break some code that assumes that the text value of a text node is never null. It also looks to me like creating text nodes with a null text does not add useful information; that just consumes memory. If you are trying to avoid the duplication of code that only creates Text node is a value is not null, would it possible to put that code in a helper method, or similar?
