xml-dev - Implementation-independent DOM construction?

[Norman Walsh <ndw@nwalsh.com>]

At the risk of exposing my ignorance...

For some time now, I've had a (Java) class that reads an XML document
using SAX. This class has the nice property that you pass in the name
of the SAX Parser class that you want to use, so you can use
absolutely any SAX implementation you want.

Now I have reason to want to change the class so that it builds and
uses a DOM. But I'm having no luck in figuring out how to make this
work while simultaneously maintaining implementation independence.
There appears to be no (implementation-independent) interface that
includes a method that returns a DOM Document node from an XML file.

Am I missing something? What is it?

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
