Description

The implementation of JAXBSource serializes the XML into a string which will then need to be reparsed to be usefull.

Ive come up with a better way of doing this before I even discovered the JAXBSource class.

Basically you implement an XMLReader which calls the Marshaller when its parse method is called as follows:

private class JAXBSourceXMLReader implements XMLReader {

private ContentHandler contentHandler;
private Marshaller marshaller;
private Object contentObject;

public void parse(String systemId) throws IOException,SAXException

{ parse(); }

public void parse(InputSource input) throws IOException,SAXException
{ parse(); }

private void parse() throws IOException, SAXException

{ marshaller.marshal(contentObject, getContentHandler()); }

public void setContentHandler(ContentHandler handler)

{ this.contentHandler = handler; }

public ContentHandler getContentHandler()

{ return contentHandler; }

...........
}

This removes the requirement of serializing and reparsing the xml.

Its just a suggestion but it works much faster.
