[Htmlparser-developer] Composite Tags != Composite Pattern

[<tez...@ya...>]

The CompositeTag is quite heavy on tasty [Australian
for good] functionality.

The way it seems to be implemented here is contrary to
the 'Composite' Design Pattern. I'm having difficulty
forming a composite of the whole document, say an
abstract <PARSE_ROOT> object.

Currently I'm doing a hack, knowing there is a table:
See

Node nodes [] =
myParser.extractAllNodesThatAre(TableTag.class);
TableTag table = (TableTag)nodes[0];
TableTag htmlComposite = (TableTag) nodes[0];

I need to do this to access the CompositeTag
functionality. Is there a simpler way?

Would it be useful to have a

public CompositeTag getRootTag() {}

in Parser?

Terry.
