I believe you are experiencing a ServiceLoader in your xerces jar file.
You can test this by looking for the file
/META-INF/services/javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory. If it exists, you
have a few choices....
Brute force...remove the file from the xerces jar and repackage (relies on
classpath and a one-off jar...not a good solution).
You can manipulate the load of the "service" implementation by iterating
over the options...
ServiceLoader<SAXParserFactory> serviceLoader = ServiceLoader.load(
SAXParserFactory.class);
serviceLoader.iterator();
for (SAXParserFactory spf : serviceLoader) {
// spf.???
}
Directly load the impl you want ...
SAXParserFactory.html#newInstance(java.lang.String,
java.lang.ClassLoader)<http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/javax/xml/parsers/SAXParserFactory.html#newInstance(java.lang.String,
java.lang.ClassLoader)>
I'd advise reading the javadoc for both forms of newInstance
Hope this helps
