-----------------------------
felix, what you were saying was: there is a performance/memory problem with DOM
+ Xerces. you didn't provide any figures so far.
If we have a such problem, we should evaluate various possibilities and not
just stay with the first proposal (which after all in a first test introduced a
NullPointerException with very standard features).
> implications of possibly replacing DOM and have to admit, that it certainly
> is not worth it
it would be some effort. but that doesn't mean a priori its not worth being
evaluated.

> Get rid of DOM for XML support
> ------------------------------

> Key: JCR-1312
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-1312
> Project: Jackrabbit
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: jackrabbit-webdav
> Reporter: Felix Meschberger
>
> Currently the web dav library uses Xerces and DOM to parse and create XML
> data. This mechanism is well-known but has two major issues: It is slow and
> it has a big memory footprint. In order to solve these two issues, I suggest
> to drop the use of the W3C DOM in webdav in favor of something easier and
> more straight forward to use.
> One candidate could be (out of my head and based on my bias towards KXml)
> KDOM. See also http://www.kxml.org.ww
> See also JCR-1261 for more discussions on this issue.
