Well, I'm actually using SetContentHandler (in xmldb-sdk.jar) because it does exactly what I need. SetContentHandler is a nice helper class used in dbXML, the reference implementation and in my JDBC implementation. Obviously that's something a lot of people can use. So why not at least move useful helper classes (along with my JAXP stuff) into xmldb.jar? > > To compensate for my comment above I have attached two helper classes > > that might be a useful addition to the Java-XML:DB-API.

Other ideas? Oh, have a look at JAXP 1.1. It's really fun to work with. Extremely simple and powerful once you get the basic patterns. Good tutorial here: http://java.sun.com/xml/jaxp-1.1/docs/tutorial/TOC.html > Btw: Is there any possibility to transform SAX1 <-> SAX2?

As far as I know there is only a org.xml.sax.helpers.ParserAdapter which converts (or rather tries to convert) SAX1 to SAX2. The other direction should be no problem to implement if you take ParserAdapter as a template.
