Ah yes, telemetry logging. That's good, I know nothing about telemetry.

But that's not going to stop me from suggesting a totally different 
approach. May I suggest that you consider using a web service. Use WSDL 
to define a reverse implementation, in other words your "clients" (in 
the business sense) will be implemented as servers for this web service. 
Then send the data for each logging event as a single client call, 
perhaps using a state attribute [*] to maintain the context that would 
otherwise be implied as the SAX document.

Most platforms now have the capability to generate basic clients and 
servers from a WSDL spec., so your clients should be reasonably content, 
and as discussions here have noted, you will be sending the data 
straight through the front door into their web server, which will - in 
my experience - simplify security negotiations considerably.

Francis.

[*] or you could use the web service transaction support proposed in the 
Sun / BEA or IBM / Microsoft / BEA proposals which were all published 
last week but seem not to have been mentioned in this forum.
