OK, I sent a nice little essay on this to the list, but my mailer must have eaten it. I'll write again Monday.
I think I know what you're saying; I don't really think that JAXP currently really has support conceptually for what you want to do. You could always point the factory to your impl classes, and then when you evaluate the type of source, you could call a custom method that you would need to copy and modify from FactoryFinder.java that does the JAXP lookups, but ignores your impl and only finds other ones. (Let me know if you get the idea or I need to actually write it comprehensibly when I'm actually awake 8-) - Shane ===== <eof aka="mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]" BartSays="Nobody reads these anymore."/> __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
