org.apache.crimson.tree.XmlDocumentBuilder#setElementFactory

[Matt Zandstra <ma...@corrosive.co.uk>]

Hi

I hope I'm not retreading old ground here, but I'm new to the list 
and the archive is currently incomplete (unless it's mirrored 
somewhere other than xml.apache.org?).

Anyway, my project was based on Project X, and on moving to Crimson 
I've noticed that element factories are now deprecated, which throws 
a spanner in my works somewhat.

I've been subclassing ElementNode (and using SimpleElementFactory) in 
order to create application specific behaviour. Is there any way that 
I can continue to subclass ElementNode without using deprecated 
methods?

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated -- I'm days away from a deadline.

I've been using the marc.theaimsgroup.com mail archives.

Is there a reason for you to upgrade?  If so then element factories
should still work but they may not work right if you use namespaces in
your document.  The namespace code in the parser was rewhacked.  The
JAXP API does not include element factories b/c they are an internal API
and ties your app to a specific parser.
