[xmlenc-devel] Late Merry Christmas

[Henri Y. <ba...@ge...>]

Sorry for being quiet recently, would you believe it was because I was
working on xmlwriter? :)

I've got a nightly build going, which I can happily do for xmlenc if you
want too [would be easiest to put a maven project.xml in the home dir, but
I can work around it and use ant instead, currently xmlenc doesn't build
for me but I assume it's my fault].

I've pulled the xmlwriter code apart and put in various new bits. It's odd
reading the xmlenc mailing list, moving to startTag and endTag was a
direction I was going too :) Had a complaint about 'Entity' being the
wrong word to use.

A design may be seen at:

SimpleXml and XmlStream [sits on xmlenc, needs updating] are the active
workers while the DelegatingXmlWriter's are Decorators [and might get
named thus].

PrettyPrinting pretty prints on top of one of the other two [though it's
not working atm].

EmptyElement handles the different strategies for null/"".

Formatted handles DateFormat and NumberFormat, though I think it should be
a bit more generic and map Classes to Formats.

SchemaChecking [JarvWriter currently] uses JARV api to check the xml being
output to a xml schema/dtd/relax-ng.

XmlIOFactory doesn't exist, but was what I was envisioning being the
facade behind which lots of this would hide. Not too sure exactly how this
would look though.

I'll do a cvs tag tomorrow and start pushing things in.

I'm not sure what's in 0.19 of xmlenc, will need to update my code from
the 0.18 I was using.
