> When calling getFirstChildWithName operation over an element, it reads not
> only the first element, but the next also. I think that could be improved
> since the operation name semantics specifies that the caller is only
> interested in the first element and not the rest of them, so a iterator (the
> reason to read the next element) is useless here. Suppose the following
> scenario.
> <root-element>
> <chlid-element att="value">
> <sub-child-element>
> -- very big content --
> </sub-child-element>
> </child-element>
> </root-element>
> I want to read the sub-child-element only in some cases depending on the
> 'value' attribute. If I call to getFirstElement I get the behaviour I want,
> since only the header is readed and I can skip and discard the message if it
> doesn't match. I get the behaviour that I would expect from a StaX parser and
> a getFirst* method, so I can discard the message quickly. Instead,
> getFirstElementWithName seems to call internally to getElementsWithName and
> returns the first occurence, which forces the parser to read the next element
> and (in this case) the complete big message.
> I think that the efficiency of that method could be improved since, for a
> StaX model, one expects that the parser only reads the minimal information
> needed to serve the request. Instead of calling to getElementsWithName, it
> would be better an implementation based on getFirstElement and then going
> through getNextOMSibling.
