Frank, Alan,

We recently discussed several issues[1] related to jaxp's provider-lookup. All of them are currently deferred to until JDK-8132026 is addressed. I have a feeling we might have a quite different provider-lookup procedure in the JDK 9 / Jigsaw, and we'd have to go through a spec change. I therefore think we might want to postpone this test and make it one to cover such a spec change. What would you think?
I think we should fix JDK-8015099 (a long standing bug)

yes, it is. I may look at it again, but I wished a single patch to cover all scenarios.

and also see if we can fix SAX to use ServiceLoader (JDK-8152912). I wouldn't expect either of these to be require re-work later.

Daniel made a good point in the ccc discussion for JDK-8152912, that is, maybe we'd update the procedure in favor of more modern alternatives (passing a Layer, or ordering/prioritizing the service providers). I was therefore envisioning a single spec change /CCC to cover all scenarios. It may be easier with the CCC process. I currently have a couple smaller CCCs pending that end up blocking the plan for a further change. Also we could then use or update Frank's test to cover these changes than have three separate unit tests.

I can start a separate thread to discuss the lookup procedure.
