Maybe you could let a factory create the PointerParts, and pass the factory as an argument to the constructor of the parser. Then you make your own factory which returns your own PointerPart implementations (which wouldn't even need to implement the PointerPart interface). Or you could indeed move the processing out of these classes, though that's about the only thing they do... > Should I > reimplement the framework for the XMLDBSource?
