You got a range from SAX/DOM to interesting stuff like FCBuffer (from the WFS datastore code) or new cool stuff on trunk.... another user figured this out recently on the user list so perhaps they can help. > I was having some problems along the way(mostly because i'm just learning the > intricacies of Geotools, and am still fuzzy about it) > > Would it be possible for you to help me out? > Try user's list, and then test cases (I am afraid the documentation is out of touch, or non existing for GML). > First off, is what i am talking about feasible? > Yep :-) > I know you must be busy, so i don't expect lightning quick support! > This is open source - you get a quick response, but support costs you (ie update a wiki page, share example code on the wiki when you get it to work etc...)
