12.30. org.milyn.delivery.sax.SAXElement

The org.milyn.delivery.sax.SAXElement will always contain attribute data associated with the targeted element, but will not contain the fragment child text data, whose SAX events ( SAXVisitChildren.onChildText ) occur between the SAXVisitBefore.visitBefore and SAXVisitAfter.visitAfter events. The text events are not accumulated on the SAXElement because that could result in a significant performance drain. The downside to this is that if the SAXVisitor implementation needs access to the text content of a fragment, you need to explicitly tell Smooks to accumulate text for the targeted fragment. This is done by calling the SAXElement.accumulateText method from inside the SAXVisitBefore.visitBefore method implementation of your SAXVisitor.
