The XMLWriter also implements the SAX ContentHandler interface, so you can fire SAX events directly into the XMLWriter. So the XMLWriter class can take XML fragments (Element subtrees), whole XML documents, nodes or SAX events. FWIW there's a JSR being defined to create a pull parsing API, called StAX, which is going to be vagulely similar to .NET's XmlReader/XmlWriter classes. Once its done we'll integrate support for it into dom4j. http://jcp.org/jsr/detail/173.jsp James ------- http://james.weblogger.com/ __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
