Well, here is a somewhat stupid example but an example none the less. What if you want to do something like query a ContentHandler for its underlying OutputStream, if it has one? Another application that would be useful would be querying the "parent" of the ContentHandler for its last modification time. The ContentHandler could then implement a very efficient cache for whatever it is serializing the events to. With the current SAX structure it is hard to see how this would be done. -- _______________________________________________________________________ Ean Schuessler Director of New Products and Technologies Novare International Inc.
