For my EtishDocumentFactory itself I have simply extend org.dom4j.DocumentFactory and overrode the various createElement(...) methods. For my custom model classes I have started by extending org.dom4j.tree.BaseElement. I depend on BaseElement for all of the dom4j functionality and have only overrode hashCode(), equals() and all importantly getDocumentFactory(). The true purpose of my costome classes are to implement application specific behaviour. It all works out beautifully except for my createCopy/clone problems.
