Update of /home/cvspublic/jdom/src/java/org/jdom/input
In directory www.nmemonix.com:/tmp/cvs-serv12576

Modified Files:
	SAXBuilder.java 
Log Message:
This is a refactoring of SAXBuilder to make it simpler to extend.
The patch was submitted by Alex Rosen with some suggestions coming from 
Laurent Bihanic.  From Alex's mail:

Attached is the updated SAXBuilder (both the full file, and the diff). 
I tried a few tests and it seemed to work fine. Changes are:

- The parser is created in a separate createParser() method, and 
configured in a separate configureParser() method.
- The content handler is created in a separate createContentHandler() 
method, and configured in a separate configureContentHandler() method.
- Split out internalSetFeature(), so that error messages are better. We 
no longer tell you that we can't turn on validation, when it's actually 
namespaces that's the problem.
- If anything in the build process throws a JDOMException, we no longer 
wrap it in another JDOMException in build(). We just rethrow it as-is.
- Did a small amount of rearranging and commenting, which I think makes
things a little clearer, but feel free to take it or leave it.

(Note that this is a slightly different set of changes than the one I 
sent you a few weeks ago.)

Open issues:

- Didn't know what exceptions the protected methods should throw. I 
made them throw Exception, since who knows what a subclass will want 
to do, and we were already correctly handling Exception if it was thrown.

- Protected members - since "factory" is a private member variable, I 
had to have SAXBuilder pass it in to createContentHandler(). Thus the 
default implementation of createContentHandler() looks a little weird - 
"factory" is passed in, even though it's accessible as a member varialbe. 
But that's necessary in order for subclasses to work right. This would 
be fixed if it were protected, or if there were a getFactory() method.

BTW, I changed "factory" to be protected so createContentHandler() doesn't
require receiving the factory anymore.
