XOM API for Processing XML with Java

[Norman Elton <normelton AT gmail.com>]

I've got an XML-based network protocol. Each request constitutes a
"chunk" of this document. So the document is not complete until the
connection is torn down. Traditional XML parsers choke in this
situation, in that they cannot parse an incomplete document, or block
waiting for the InputStream to send more data.

I'm using a non-blocking network framework (Netty), so the notion of
blocking until more data arrives isn't going to fly.

I see that XOM supports the notion of accessing a document while it is
still being built. I'm a bit fuzzy on how that works, but it might
solve my problem.

Is there a way to use XOM to parse a document in a non-blocking fashion?

Thanks!
