I have a lot to learn here. While I have some knowledge of XML (like every other developer on the planet), I have never used it for large data sets or used SAX parsing.

If so I haven't included direct support for them because I focused on raw byte streams. However it shouldn't be hard to add a receiver to write to java.io.Writer instances. > I'll give it a look at and come back later today :) I look forward to your feedback. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
