SAX doesn't have any way of differentiating these but XNI
does. XNI has two separate methods, "startElement" and
"emptyElement", to represent <element> vs. <element/>.
You can write your program to receive XNI events straight
from the parser configuration of your choice. But realize
that this will tie your program code directly to the Xerces
implementation. If you want a purely portable app, then be
very careful when choosing this route.
However, if you do want to use XNI, please refer to the
XNI Manual in the documentation.
