[jdom-interest] Keeping an XML file in memory

[citynomad]

Hi all,

I have an application where I need to keep a rather large (currently ~40MB,
can get bigger) XML file in memory.  This document is used exclusively as a
source for multiple XSLT transformations.  

I am currently keeping it in a JDOM Document object and creating JDOMSource
objects from it as needed, but (after having to triple the heap size) I am
beginning to suspect that it isn't exactly the most memory-friendly
approach, since Document and JDOMSource classes must have a lot of overhead
that I don't need in this situation.  Is it true, and if so, what would be a
better way to store an XML doc in memory?  I am thinking of just using a
byte array and creating StreamSource's out of it.

Thanks in advance.

Eugene
