Perhaps it's justified for backwards compatibility. (I did it myself in expat for this reason, so I can't really complain if SAX2 does it.) > So, in other words, we'd have something like this: > > public interface DocumentHandler2 extends DocumentHandler { > public void startElement (String ns, String name, AttributeList2 atts); > public void endElement (String ns, String name); > } > > public interface AttributeList2 extends AttributeList { > public String [] getName (int i); > public String getType (int i); > public String getValue (int i); > public String getType (String ns, String name); > public String getValue (String ns, String name); > } > > We talked about this a few months ago, but I'd be happy to hear what > people think now. For some applications (for example, layering DOM2 on top of SAX2), it's really useful to have prefixes as well. So I would rather see: final class Name { public String getNamespaceURI(); public String getLocalName(); public String getPrefix(); } public interface DocumentHandler2 extends DocumentHandler { void startElement(Name name, AttributeList2 atts); void endElement(Name name); } James xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers.
