Attila Doroszlai commented on HADOOP-18469:
-------------------------------------------
Hi [~pj.fanning], some old XML libraries may not support all properties being
set on the factories in XMLUtils. Two problems we have encountered so far:
{code}
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unknown
configuration option http://javax.xml.XMLConstants/property/accessExternalDTD
at
net.sf.saxon.Configuration.setConfigurationProperty(Configuration.java:3915)
at
net.sf.saxon.TransformerFactoryImpl.setAttribute(TransformerFactoryImpl.java:285)
at
org.apache.hadoop.util.XMLUtils.newSecureTransformerFactory(XMLUtils.java:138)
at
org.apache.hadoop.conf.Configuration.writeXml(Configuration.java:3565)
{code}
and
{code}
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Not supported:
http://javax.xml.XMLConstants/property/accessExternalDTD
at
org.apache.xalan.processor.TransformerFactoryImpl.setAttribute(TransformerFactoryImpl.java:571)
at
org.apache.hadoop.util.XMLUtils.newSecureTransformerFactory(XMLUtils.java:138)
at
org.apache.hadoop.conf.Configuration.writeXml(Configuration.java:3568)
{code}
Should we handle these more gracefully by catching the exception, thereby
maintaining backwards compatibility?
