Java XML-replace using org.xml.sax.XMLReader

Question

In this answer there's an recommendation "Use a SAX (or StAX) parser and writer at the same time.". As I understand it, it should combine e.g., a org.xml.sax.XMLReader with some XML-writer, my problem is that there seem to be many of them and none fits exactly to the XMLReader. Ideally, I'm looking for something capable of both

accepting the arguments as they come from startElement and endElement
writing an arbitrary XML-containing string

The name of the factory class for the writer is probably sufficient for me.

Not knowing exactly what you want to do, but have a look at David Megginsons XMLWriter: http://www.megginson.com/downloads/xml-writer-0.2.zip

It is an XMLReader and you can easily extend it to accomplish what the other answer implies: i.e use your extended XMLWriter as an XMLreader in a filetered set up.

First I wanted something what can be fed directly with what I get from the XMLReader, then I've found out that I want to preserve the formatting... I'm afraid I'll stay with regexes. But +1 for the interesting link.
