Hi Jeremy,
Could you briefly enumerate what you see as the benefits to the StAX
framework over alternatives?
Thanks,
Jim

You can enable the framework by setting the useStax boolean in
BootstrapHelper to true and rebuilding the core module (and any others
you wish to test).
To see what is involved in adding an extension have a look at:
JavaScriptImplementationLoader for the .js container
JSONRPCBindingLoader for the .jsonrpc binding
Comments welcome...

I checked in a framework for a StAX-based configuration loader for
the
SCA core. It is based on a set of element handlers that generate a
model
object from a element in the XML stream; handlers for the core and
system schemas are in the core module, handlers for extensions can be
bundled in the extension module and are contributed as regular system
components.
I tested with the basic system and helloworld configurations and
discovered a problem with the way configured properties and
references
are handled. This should be resolved once the FIXME in
ComponentImpl is
addressed.
To get this working I had to modify the autowire resolver in the
SystemAggregateContextImpl. I hope this can be removed once Jim gets
references working. I also think we need to reexamine the autowire
algorithm but will open another thread for that.
