Ah, gotcha. I was assuming betwixt was comparable to domify. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Schnitzer, Jeff Sent: Monday, September 09, 2002 7:01 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [Mav-user] cyclic reference graphs in opt-domify

I don't think betwixt by itself can be used for a view; it's just a way of defining the mapping from Java->XML, not a tool which provides the mapping to DOM/SAX/whatever itself. > As for the SAX event idea, wouldn't this suffer from the same cyclical > reference difficulty as domify?

Yup, SAX events would suffer the same cyclical problem as domify - which is why something like Betwixt is necessary to exclude the paths that have the cycles. At the moment, Domify isn't that smart because we expected XSLT processors to be intelligent about how they navigate the DOM. Xalan 2.1 was, but more recent versions aren't :-( A quick solution to the cycle problem might be to switch to Xalan 2.1. A more satisfying solution would be to replace Domify with a betwixt-based "Saxify". Still pretty easy to build, but probably not a couple hours work, unfortunately.
