This is a question for somebody on the list that is familiar with the internals of the transformation process.
javax.xml.transform.Transformer.transform(Source, Result) receives the xml input via a source. There are several types of Source implementations (DOMSource, SAXSource, StreamSource). Is a transform more efficient when using a particular Source implementation? I have an application which produces xml, transforms it, and spits out the results. Is it more efficient to build this xml with a Document (which uses DOMSource during transform) or print it into a Buffer (and use StreamSource during transform). I'm sure this problem has been faced a hundred times. Thanks, James Leone
