XMLFilters vs Pipes

[Craig McDaniel <cp...@gmail.com>]

When it is necessary to do several transforms ending in FOP
serialization, which is the better choice, XMLFilters or Pipes
(TransformHandlers)? Is there a difference in performance? Are there
different scenarios where one just makes more sense than the other?

I don't think there's a difference in performance. It's just a different
way of setting up the processing pipeline and starting its work. In the
end all the communication between the individual transformers happens
using SAX in both cases. The choice mostly depends on what you have
available to set up the chain. Usually, I stick to the
TransformerHandler approach.
