Yes. That's something I was after with my bubbling ;-)

Yes that works sometimes. But for example getting some values
from xml doc into textboxes waiting to be modified by the user and then
writing values back to xml doc isn't possible with this approach I believe.

I was thinking this 2 parse (and 2 serializing operations with SAX writer 
(horror!)) approach more and
now I think it's possible to reduce it 1 parse with serializing to 
temporary file
keeping track of binding positions, then perform only writing (not parsing)
temporary file with updates into final document.

Something like:

serialize to file until binding section is found - keeping track of 
serialized bytes
bind section to variables - don't serialize - mark this point
serialize to file until binding section is found - keeping track of 
serialized bytes
bind section to variables - don't serialize - mark this point
serialize to file etc.

modify variables (wait input from the user)

perform update writing previous created file to another file:
- write until mark point or eof
- call setter method when mark point is found
- write until mark point or eof
- call setter method when mark point is found
- etc.

* setter method is setbook() like method in my pseudo code

with respect,
