--- Comment #5 from Chris <c...@stl.gmbh> --- You are absolutely right. Setting a SystemProperty within a web application is not a desired approach. The circumstances of our web application are rather homogeneous: it is always installed as the one and only web application in Tomcat 9.0.* using Java 8 as a requirement. We are relying on some parsing features of woodstox and always instantiate their factory in our own code. But we call some libraries that themselves use "XMLInputFactory.newFactory()". We had issues in some class loader constellations that these libraries did not find the "/META-INF/services/javax.xml.stream.XMLInputFactory" of woodstox in the classpath and hence loaded the java sun default Implementation. We saw the SystemProperty as the only way to "enforce" the usage of woodstox throughout our entire web application. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@tomcat.apache.org
