[JDEV] Question on using NIO with SAX

[Chris Chen]

Well, I'm thinking of another way of wrapping a underlying stream into a 
"faked blocking IO stream" for SAX.

What you can do is have NIO on one side, put all the data into a channel, 
then create a data buffer processor that reads in the data from the 
channel.  This processor will also implement the InputStream interface so 
that it can be read...  Then you can just pass the wrapped stream to the 
SAX handler.  This way, SAX still thinks it's using a traditional stream 
but the underlying implementation is actually using the new NIO.

I think this might work, but you do have to implement your own blocking 
mechanism for the read() operation.
