You don't need to subclass the parser itself; you only need to
set the appropriate property on the parser to set the new DOM
implementation by using the fully qualified class name. For
example:
domParser.setProperty("http://apache.org/xml/properties/dom/document-class-name";,
"andyc.MyDocumentImpl");
