XOM API for Processing XML with Java

["Brian Sam-Bodden" <bsbodden AT integrallis.com>]

Rusty,
   I haven't done a pound per pound comparison of
marshalling versus parsing. But in most of our
scenarios the object is already in memory so there is
no marshalling involved and we get it by reference. The
problem is that to get it to some of these caches it
needs to be serializable. Even if it gets to go through
a round of marshalling/demarshalling to get to the
cache it is still better than for each client that
accesses the object to have to parse the XML again.
This of course is more relevant the as the number of
clients that need to get to the cached instance
increase.
