Some thoughts about changing the default behaviour of some methods.

[George Papamarkos <g....@dcs.bbk.ac.uk>]

Dear all,
	I am currently using Xindice as the XML Repository in my PhD research on
ECA Rules for semi-structed data. I intend to create a mechanism in order to
be able to see what have changed after an update. I mean for example instead
of returning the number of elements that changed, the update method return
exaclty what have changed or create a "pointer" to it. Does anyone have any
idea of how can I achieve that ?
	I am thinking of creating a framework over the Xindice API and get the
results I want by overriding the already existing methods. Do you believe
that the use of XMLObjects would help ?
I'd appriciate any new idea or recommendation .
