hi,

that would just require pull parser to continue scanning until gets some
event.

that would be required to properly get events (or we loose them).

alternatively they could be buffered but this introduces extra overhead...

i can take a look on all of this as i have been writing / working with XML
pull parser interfaces for last year however i need to have something to
start with.

few specifics questions
* where are setInputSource/parseDocument methods (are they in CVS?)
* i have drilled down AbstractSAXParser to XMLParser looked on parse() in
StandardParserConfiguration and XMLDocumentScanner scanDocument(boolean)
but i could not find how enable it to support pull parsing (ie. to pass
false) and use XMLDocumentScannerImpl - what am i missing?

could you post your example that you are using to check pull parsing - i
imagine that you setup parser, register callbacks, pass input, and then do
parse-some-input and check what is back?

thanks,

alek
