[jdom-interest] DOMBuilder with customized adapter

I don't see how the SAXBuilder would help me, I still can't initialize my
adapter since the SAXBuilder uses reflection to initilize the Adapter (why
is it called driver in the saxbuilder API doc??).

Hmm, I can see why it is not possible now. But isn't it so that nodes is
always created with the base from a document and then validation of the node
would be possible based on the base documents DTD / Schema. A validation /
creation class have to be able to create nodes with validation turned on.

Oki, I can see the runtime problem, but by using reflection on the creation
of adapter sepecific details concrete adapter can still be implemented by
used overloading the init / setup / create method. It is all in the design
