Absolutely use SAXP (java.sun.com) or JDOM (www.jdom.org) to parse the XML in a messaging system! DOM parsing would be a big bottleneck on any high-traffic system.
Mark -----Original Message----- From: Vernon Wu [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, September 23, 2002 7:49 PM The reason I am thinking about use DOM is that messages are stored in a XML format in DB since the number of messages can vary. The XML format data needs to be parsed either SAX or DOM. If DOM parsing is too slow, SAX parsing into a collection object is a way to get around. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
