RE: XercesDOMParser::parse() - Is this Recursive?

[David N Bertoni/Cambridge/IBM]

Hi Renin,

The parser doesn't traverse a DOM tree.  It parses an XML stream and builds
a DOM from that stream.  Most of the information that maintains the state
of the parse is not kept on the stack, and the parser is not implemented
using recursive descent -- it's a state machine.

I am sorry i wasn't clear. I understood from the code that it's not
re-entrant.

what i meant was, does the XercesDOMParser::parse() traverse the DOM
Tree in a recursive manner?

since my program is multi-threaded, i am worried if this traversing
is done in a recursive manner, the depth of the DOM tree would be
constrained by the stack size for this thread, and if the DOM Tree
 is deep enough, then my program would crash.

Thanks again, for any help.
renin.
