In Jackrabbit we only use a fairly standard subset of XML functionality, mainly just parsing and serialization of relatively simple XML documents. I think the only real XML parser incompatibility issue we've faced is the xmlns serialization issue, and we have good workarounds for that. So I don't see us having many problems with using standard JAXP, and given the classloading horrors described by Carsten I would very much prefer sticking with standard JAXP. BR, Jukka Zitting
