Oren, This looks like you are treating SAX events and documents something like Java bean events, and I wonder if it would be appropriate to conform to a greater degree to the event method signature patterns. I would also like to refer you to MDSAX, which you may find somewhat complimentary. (It also provides an open-archecture for supporting alternatives to things like namespaces, if that is the issue of the moment.) http://www.jxml.com/mdsax/mdsaxintro.html We are now viewing the current release as just one possible implementation of a multi-document SAX-based framework. The next step will be to seperate and simplify the api, while still providing a sample implementation. It is open source software (BSD licence), but more than that, we really want to throw this effort open to the entire XML development community. Again, the work you are doing appears to be complimentary to ours, with the producer/consumer interfaces providing an api for connecting various processes, while MDSAX provides a means for defining a SAX-event process.
