not that I know of. > Or would this require still some integration effort? Yep. Basically you would need to create a custom generator that pull parses a file and only sends the events of interest down the pipeline. Make sure though the events are nicely balanced, i.e. for each startElement there should be a corresponding endElement call, etc. Also beware of possible differences in conventions of what the definitions of namespaceURI, localName and qName are.
