Well, here is what my code is doing:
* I have to parse the entire document, so I know lazy parsing won't help.
* I am simply trying to get the document into a set of custom objects I
wrote (<app><book><chapter>... int App().Book().Chapter();)
* I like the Dom4J way at present, but all of my classes have this big chunk
of code in them:
void parse(Element element) throws OLifEException {
String name;
Node node;
for ( int i = 0, size = element.nodeCount(); i < size; i++ ) {
node = element.node(i);
if ( node instanceof Element ) {
name=node.getName();
System.out.println("-->" + name);
if(name.equals("HoldingKey")) {
//setCreationDate(node.getText().trim());
} else if(name.equals("AccountDesignation")) {
//setCreationTime(node.getText().trim());
} else if(name.equals("HoldingTypeCode")) {
setHoldingTypeCode(OLifE.parseInt(((Element)node).attributeValue("tc").trim(
),"HoldingTypeCode not a number"));
.
.
.
Where the loop is the same, but the names differ. I was trying to come up
with HashMap type interface, but each element requires something different
be done. Some require there be 1 element, some are 0+, some are simple
sets, and some are objects that need to be created.
I thought about:
HashMap.add("AccountDesignation",new JimAction("set","AccountDesignation"));
or something to that effect. Where JimAction is a container that can either
call a setter, call an Add with the element as the
And then JimAction would be the item that handles the chore, but that seems
like a lot of JimActions for the code, and would tend to slow it down, I
think.

That totaly depends on what your code is doing. Here is my personal rule of
thumb. If I don't need random access to the XML or if memory use is
prohibitive use SAX, for everything else use dom4j.

Subject: [dom4j-user] SAX vs DOM4J
Has anyone done any benchmarking of SAX (Xerces or Aelfred) versus DOM4J? I
know DOM is slower, but I like the ease of DOM4J. Is rewriting my code (for
performance) into SAX going to save me all that much?
