Call the method as soon as the last parameter is encountered

           Summary: Call the method as soon as the last parameter is
                    encountered
           Product: Commons
           Version: Nightly Builds
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Digester
        AssignedTo: commons-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: smanux@lfjr.net


The method invocation of a CallMethodRule rule is fired only when the end of the
element is encountered, even if all parameters were already known after parsing
the beginning of the element. It becomes an issue if the parsing relies on the
order of the elements in the XML file.

for example with this XML file :

1  <toplevel>
2    <element name="A">
3      <element name="B">
4        <element name="C"/>
5      </element>
6    </element>
7  </toplevel>

and the following rules :

StringBuffer sequence = new StringBuffer();
digester.push(sequence);
digester.addCallMethod("*/element", "append", 1);
digester.addCallParam("*/element", 0, "name");

When the first element is encountered on line 2, all parameters needed to satify
the CallMethodRule are available, but the method will no be called until the end
of the element on line 6 is reached. There is the same issue with the second
element on line 3. Eventually the sequence contains "CBA" instead of "ABC" as
expected.
