Creating a W3C DOM tree just to create a dom4j tree seems a bit excessive. Why not just use the SAXReader?
Also, if ever you have an XML parsing performance problem, try caching the parser. Often parsers take quite a while to 'warm up' particularly things like Xerces. e.g. if using the dom4j SAXReader, it can often be useful to use ThreadLocal to pool them by thread. e.g. ThreadLocal pool= new ThreadLocal() { protected Object initialValue() { return new SAXReader(); } }; ... SAXReader reader = (SAXReader) pool.get(); reader.parse( "foo.xml" ); James ------- http://radio.weblogs.com/0112098/ ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bram Huenaerts" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "DOM4J-user (E-mail)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, August 27, 2002 8:46 AM Subject: [dom4j-user] DOMReader related problem (Performace) > Hi, > > I wonder what i can do about the following problem. > I want to create a dom4j document from a org.w3c document. > The code below works fine for xml-files under the +-100k. > > <CODE> > // Parse the file to an org.w3c.dom.Document > DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance(); > DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder(); > domDocument = builder.parse(new java.io.File(pathName)); > > // Create an org.dom4j.Document > DOMReader domReader = new DOMReader(); > document = domReader.read(domDocument); > </CODE> > > Is this a performance problem or am I using the API not correctly? > Can i go around this somehow? > Any help is appreciated. > > regards > > Bram > > > > ------------------------------------------------------- > This sf.net email is sponsored by: OSDN - Tired of that same old > cell phone?
