Hi

Yesterday I started to hack a smart SAX handler. The idea is that I want to just specify the tags I want to visit and the SAX handler should invoke (generated) visit methods. Like that I can easily
get visitors on XML domain.

Here is an example of what I did.

    | h |
    h := SmartSAXHandler new
                visitor: (MyFilmVisitor new visitTags: #(FILM ROLE));
                on: FileSystem workingDirectory / 'FILMS.XML'.
    h parseDocument.
    ^ h



SmartSAXHAndler >> startElement: aQualifiedName attributes: aDictionary

    (visitor shouldVisit: aQualifiedName)
        ifTrue: [
                visitor
                    perform: (visitor createdVisitSelector: aQualifiedName)
                    with: aQualifiedName
                    with: aDictionary
        ]


Object subclass: #GenericTagSAXVisitor
    instanceVariableNames: 'visitTag visitTags'
    classVariableNames: ''
    category: 'SmartXMLHandler'


GenericTagSAXVisitor>>visitTags: aCollection
"set the tags that will lead to a call to a visitTag:with: method in the visitor"

    visitTags := aCollection collect: [ :each | each asLowercase ].
    self createVisitMethods.

and in a subclass the visit* methods automatically generated


Now I could not get when I have a <TITRE>Vertigo</TITRE> where I can get the Vertigo information.
I redefined several methods of SAXhandler but without success.
