Hi all..i have doubt abt the use of configuration files.
I am working on an application which needs to read a variable from an xml configuration file. The value is valid only when a particular event is raised by the user.
Which is a good design solution? To go for initial read using SAX or provide the user with a mechanism to write to the xml when that event is raised and then continue with the operation using DOM?
I feel SAX being simple and light on memory must be implemented for this..but then am not so sure if its a user friendly solution to make the user edit config files before loading application.

pls reply soon
