[ Lists Home | Date Index | Thread Index ]

I don't quite get why it could possibly be any easier using SAX - you
can still use the same interface - it's then up to you how you implement
within the pipeline itself. It is trivial to plug them together as
follows:

ms contains file stream..

fm.runPipe1(ms);
fm.runPipe2(ms);
fm.runPipeN(ms);
fm.runFilters();

XmlReader rdr = new XmlReader(ms);....

I have implemented this with no probs at all with the same interface - a
stream containing the Xml doc - and process the doc as a pipeline using
the XmlReader and XmlWriter.

Unless of course you mean something different :)

I'm confused too. IMO, XML processing pipelines are much easier to
implement in SAX that with the .NET APIs (this is actually the
1-out-of-10 scenario I alluded to in my previous post). Since the same
interface, ContentHandler, was used for both reading and writing, it was
trivial to plug them together. This is not the case in .NET. Do you mean
a pipeline of readers or a pipeline of writers, but not where one feeds
into the other?
