I'm pretty sure that Xerces does not support this directly. However it is fairly simple for you to write a startElement method that uses java reflection to locate an appropriately named method and invoke it. This should take only a dozen or so lines of code to implement. You'll have to consider what to do about xml namespaces. eg <ns1:TAG1/> <ns2:TAG1/> <TAG1 xmlns="foo"/> are really completely different tags, so which methods should be called?
