Does Apache SOAP use DOM for parsing/representation of XML?

Hi,

Does the Apache SOAP API use DOM to represent the XML, and it is possible
to get the DOM tree for the body element without creating a new parser
(SAX/DOM)?

Is it possible (configuration) to use a SAX parser with Apache SOAP instead
of DOM?

Any imput is apreciated!

Regards

Yes it uses DOM - you will have to dig into the source code
to see where to get the Elements representing the body.

The code is entirely dependent on manipulating a DOM
