I have more than a suspicion of that. In a predecessor of the
communication system used by the server, I used pure Xerces, and
ended up writing a very large amount of support code. One of the things
that attracted me the JDOM was the fact that it looked like someone took
the utility stuff that I had written, and integrated it directly into
the API. (That, and the fact that I was working with concrete classes
rather than factories.)
