Yes, that would acheive part of what I'm getting at, but not nearly enough. You see I am addressing several different performance problems with processing in Java at the same time so the solution is a bit more holistic. In concept, what I'm getting at is close to using a serialization of a DOM tree, however the point is to avoid any transformations (even deserialization/serialization) when possible but still have a DOM/SAX or even JGL like access to the tree. sdw > > > Just a brain check on my part ;) > > L. > > xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers.
