sequentially writing XMLDocument

[Peter Felix <fe...@imagic.ch>]

Hi

I want to generate big xml files. Is there a possibility to write the
XMLDocument sequentially. For example after a call of addElement(). Because
otherwise I have to hold the hole xml object in memory.

Thanks
Peter

hi peter

ECS XMLDocument is a document object model (small dom not large DOM) 
based technology. a common problem with this kind of technology is that 
it's difficult to write out a document sequentially. essentially, you 
have to create the entire document before it can be written out.

the way i'd approach this problem would be to use direct calls to a SAX 
interface. i don't know of any product out there that provides a 
convenient java wrapper but this kind of thing is really pretty easy to 
do. you use the SAX events produced to either feed an XSLT engine or 
use a SAX-to-stream writer to push the output straight out of the pipe.
