So specifying Layer is preferred solution. If a new method is needed
however, (similar situation to using the method with ClassLoader), that
would mean your users' applications are required to adapt to the new
API. Would you expect that would happen or would you still have existing
applications that can not be updated?

In this discussion so far,
a) I see that you seemed to have successfully used the method with a
class loader as Daniel suggested. I assume that solved the issue
reported in JDK-8152063. Am I right, that you no longer have issue with
using a proxy? Or
No, not solved yet, just in the process of prototyping but ran into a
road block with XMLReaderFactory.
b) you do need JAXP's supporting using a Layer as the context in order
to solve your issue completely?
I think this should be considered the best solution to the problem.
c) On org.xml.sax.helpers.XMLReaderFactory, as Alan and Daniel said, yes
I'm working with the SAX project to hopefully get a new release out that
would conform to the ServiceLoader spec. I'm also suggesting a new
method that takes a ClassLoader that would be useful if (a) worked
for you.
We have some more testing to do before I can say whether this works or
does not work. But either way it is a rather non-optimal solution,
and if I can avoid using a proxy layer, I would much prefer to do so.
Thanks for your response.
