Purpose of SAX event recorders

[Glyn Normington <gl...@uk.ibm.com>]

Does anyone understand the purpose of using SAX event recorders in the Axis
deserialization components?

I guess it's something to do with optimising serialization of the parse
tree, but it's not immediately obvious from the code :-). It would save me
some reverse-engineering effort if someone could describe the design in a
paragraph or two. I promise to put any succinct design principles in the
Architecture Guide for posterity.

Thanks!
