Dimitris, remind me why removing xalan is a problem. I'm not getting it
from the discussion thread associated with this JBAS-2073 issue. From
the TransformerFactory javadoc:
public static TransformerFactory newInstance()
throws TransformerFactoryConfigurationError
Obtain a new instance of a TransformerFactory. This static method
creates a new factory instance This method uses the following ordered
lookup procedure to determine the TransformerFactory implementation
class to load:
* Use the javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory system property.
* Use the properties file "lib/jaxp.properties" in the JRE directory.
This configuration file is in standard java.util.Properties format and
contains the fully qualified name of the implementation class with the
key being the system property defined above.
* Use the Services API (as detailed in the JAR specification), if
available, to determine the classname. The Services API will look for a
classname in the file
META-INF/services/javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory in jars
available to the runtime.
* Platform default TransformerFactory instance.
Neither the javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory system property nor
jre lib/jaxp.properties exists by default:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] bin]$ find /usr/java/jdk1.5.0_05 -name
jaxp.properties
[EMAIL PROTECTED] bin]$ find /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_09 -name
jaxp.properties -print
[EMAIL PROTECTED] bin]$
so the Services API (class loader scoped resources) should dictate how
the jaxp factories are found. Having the xalan.jar in lib/endorsed
overrides the javax.xml.transform namespace with classes loaded from the
bootstrap class loader. I don't see why we need to do this?
