Ok, you'll have to forgive me, I'm still trying to absorb the significance of XML namespaces and their relationship with SAX2. Some of my initial questions: - Since you map URIs (which are unique, hopefully) to prefixes (which may not be unique) what exactly do namespaces achieve? Is it useful since you then know explicitly that a collision exists? Wouldn't it be more reliable to just use long XML tag names like: org-webslinger-sax-flop? - If you are writing a generic SAX filter that would be used by multiple applications how should it handle namespaces? Like, if I write a SAX Filter that converts <date/> into the current date and I want it to just operate in the "foo" namespace, how is that done? Do I just make up my own API conventions for it, like "new DateFilter( namespace )"? So, thats one thing. Another thing that I'm confused about is how you communicate "out of band" or config data to a ContentHandler. XMLReader, obviously, has Features and Properities which are useful for telling it special things. How do you do similar things (querying capabilities, setting configuration data, etc.) on a Content Handler? Should it not be done? Should I make up my own API that will have to be replaced later? Oh, by the way, I would like to announce that we will be needing to fill 6 positions fairly immediatly and 10 positions long term to write Open Source Java. This work will include heavy SAX and DOM work, working with Kaffe on an embedded MIPS based hand-held Linux system, working on free EJB systems, working with and/or developing enterprise level Java systems such as message queues and EJB containers, and assorted work with distributed clusters running Kaffe. Some code will be customer specific/proprietary, but 90% of the code written will be put straight into LGPL. We are interested in people in Texas as well as people who would need to work remotely. If this sounds interesting, please drop me a line. (Sorry if this is Spam, since its basically an oppurtunity to get paid to write Open Source Java I figured I could get away with it). That's it for me. -- ___________________________________________________________________ Ean Schuessler As above Novare International Inc. so below *** WARNING: This signature may contain jokes. *************************************************************************** This is xml-dev, the mailing list for XML developers.
