I need Java code to read a large XML message from a database, add several attributes to the root tag, and send it out over a network. Ideally, I'd like to avoid having the entire message in core memory. Doesn't SAX allow parsing without loading the whole file? I'd appreciate some tips. The database and network stuff I can do, but the XML manipulation is baffling to me.

A SAX filter is what you want here. There's a whole chapter of a book online that describes them:
http://www.cafeconleche.org/books/xmljava/chapters/ch08.html
I think you are hinting at what the author says in the first paragraph of that chapter: "In all of XML, I have found nothing quite so hard to understand yet easy to do as writing SAX filters."
