Hi all,
I'm currently using a JVM (Mysaifu JVM J2SE-compliant for windows mobile
pocketpc) which is partly built upon classpath.
I have to deal with some stuff around DOM/XML, and now I have some
troubles concerning the libxmlj native implementation of GNU JAXP.
AFAIK, the libxmlj native library is always loaded whatever the
chosen implementation! (see my comments below). And, I don't have any
"xmlj" shared library file...
So, as I want to use DOM/XML in classpath, I'd like to have your
comments/feedbacks about:
- Is the use of libxmlj mandatory? (according to my comments below,
seems to be yes)
=> if yes, is it possible to build from classpath sources a "xmlj.dll"
shared library for windows? how?
Have anybody succeeded in using libxmlj with classpath?
=> If no, have anybody, dealed with DOM/XML in classpath without
libxmlj? how?
Regards,
Hervé

Comments:
The problem seems to be that despite GNU JAXP accepts 2 different
implementations of javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory
(gnu.xml.dom.DomDocumentBuilderFactory and
gnu.xml.libxmlj.dom.GnomeDocumentBuilderFactory see
http://www.gnu.org/software/classpathx/jaxp/ )
the libxmlj native library is always loaded!
AFAIU, The DOM Boostrapping fallback class gnu.xml.dom.ImplementationSource
loads gnu.xml.libxmlj.dom.GnomeDocumentBuilder which contains the
following static code:
static
{
XMLJ.init(); //calls ... System.loadLibrary ("xmlj");
}
IMO, it clearly imposes a strong dependency on libxmlj,
as soon as someone deals with xml stuff whatever the chosen
implementation...
Is that right?
