how to generate sax events from variables

[Andrew Welch <AW...@piper-group.com>]

Hi,

Ive got some variables that I want to turn into a stream of sax events.

For example:

String a = "root";
String b = "node";

Would become something like:

startElement(null, a, a, null);
  startElement(null, b ,b, null);
  endElement...
endElement...

...which will be the source of an xsl transform.

How can I go about generating SAX events without actually parsing a document?  This is hopefully trivial, but Im struggling with it at the moment.

cheers
andrew

Have your code simply accept a pointer to a SAX handler and call its 
methods directly. (That's what the output stage of Xalan -- or of a parser 
-- does; we just have a lot of fancy code involved in deciding which 
methods to call with what values.)
