You can implement a custom NodeFactory which returns custom Node objects.
You don't even have to use sources but can implement arbitrary node

use arbitrary files to store the content, depending on the source URI.

Why does a node have to use InputStream and OutputStream? I can understand it is ideal for File IO,


well, I think Input/OutputStream is very generic and doesn't imply that the data
needs to come from the FS.

I agree. On the level of the repository API, the framework shouldn't care
if it handles XML data or binary data. There were some discussions which
showed that the general opinion is that all kinds of data should be treated
in the same way.

Also see

https://svn.wyona.com/repos/public/yarep/trunk/src/examples/java/org/wyona/yarep/examples

but if you were to implement a different repository, would it be possible to create a RepositorySource which returned XML documents directly to cocoon?


a utility class/method would certainly be handy

You can use for instance

  DocumentHelper.readDocument(InputStream)
  DocumentHelper.writeDocument(Document, OutputStream)
