That's not really true. The Source interface does not have close to enough functionality to allow it to be used as input to a transform or validation or anything else. The whole interface is two methods, getSystemId() and setSystemId(). There's so little useful functionality here one wonders why they bothered with a separate interface at all. The only way engines work with sources is by specifically recognizing them as SAXSources or DOMSources. JDOMSource is a subclass of SAXSource. It does not really implement a JDOM-native source. If validation and transformation APIs were really prepared to accept a Source as input, then I could pass in a JDOMSource or a XOMSource thatch correctly implemented javax.xml.transform.Source but did not subclass SAXSource or DOMSource and expect it to work. -- Elliotte Rusty Harold elharo@m...
