User Data

[Arno Schatz <li...@arnoschatz.de>]

Hi,

I like the api of the user data stuff and UserDataHandler. Unfortunately, the 
implementation is using too much memory per entry (and I want it to be faster), so I want 
to change the implementation. All I would need for this, is to override the method 
CoreDocumentImpl.callUserDataHandlers. Is there a reason it is not 'protected' or can it 
be changed?

Also, I realised, that the inner class 'CoreDocumentImpl.UserDataRecord' is not static 
altough it does not access its outer class. Potentially there is one UserDataRecord per 
node, so making it static could easily safe some memory (and time). Making it static and 
protected would enable others to reuse it.

I don't know if there is a general policy on what will be made 'protected' and what not, 
but what I really like about Xerces is that a lot of stuff is protected and I don't get 
stuck implementing some features.

thanks,
   Arno
