In essence, your XMLEventReader implementation contains a List<XMLEvent>
list and and an int position, and you implement the seven methods of the
interface something like this:
close()
- no-op
getElementText()
step position forwards through the list, accumulating text
events in a StringBuffer until you reach the matching EndElement event,
then return the contents of the StringBuffer
getProperty(java.lang.String name)
no-op
boolean hasNext()
test if position is at the end of the list
XMLEvent nextEvent()
return list[position++]
XMLEvent nextTag()
increment position until a START_ELEMENT or END_ELEMENT is
reached.
XMLEvent peek()
return list[position+1] with some error checking.
Not really very difficult.
