gnu.xml.datatype.JAXPDatatypeFactory not there

2008-05-13 Thread Robert Schuster
Hi,
javax.xml.datatype.DatatypeFactory declares:

public static final String DATATYPEFACTORY_IMPLEMENTATION_CLASS =
"gnu.xml.datatype.JAXPDatatypeFactory";

The value is a fallback value which is treated as a class which is to be
instantiated. Unfortunately this class does not exist.

Has this class been renamed or has it really not been written yet?

Regards
Robert

The package doesn't seem to exist and I don't recall us having any
datatype support.
I guess the factory was just added so other factories would be able to
operate using
GNU Classpath.

This package was added to the API fairly recently. We don't have support
for it yet although there is a relatively complete datatype
implementation in gnu.xml.validation.datatype which could probably be
easily adapted to this new API.
