That's definately an intresting approach - keeps the JDOM model intact and
no translation involved. Thank Anthony.
 
Any other thoughts from the group?

I primarily use JDOM for loading configuration data.  To that end I have a
Configuration interface and then one of the concrete implementations wraps a
JDOM document.  The interface includes methods like getChildren(),
getChildValue(), getValue(), etc.  I can then use different implementations
(such as pull data from a database) very easily.
 
Sincerely,

Hi, 

I have a quick design question for the group. When using an XML parser such
as JDOM, is it better for the application to work directly with the document
tree (such as org.jdom.Document) or should it use an application specific
model and convert to/from the document tree? What are the pros/cons of the
two approaches, where does one make sense over the other?
