Summary: javax.xml.stream.XMLOutputFactory should not depend on
woodstox/WstxOutputFactory
Product: XmlCommons
Version: 1.x
Platform: Macintosh
OS/Version: other
Status: NEW
Severity: critical
Priority: P2
Component: JAXP
AssignedTo: commons-dev@xml.apache.org
ReportedBy: diz...@exist-db.org
I did put xml-apis.jar (version 1.4) in my application endorsed directory, to
be sure that everyone runs/builds against the right XML-apis.
Unfortunately this introduces a dependency with the codehause / woodstox
implementation, in my case com.ctc.wstx.stax.WstxOutputFactory ; see line 30:
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/xml/commons/trunk/java/external/src/javax/xml/stream/XMLOutputFactory.java?view=markup
In my project this dependency is 'undesired'. The bad thing here is that I
cannot override this default implementation. Since the application runs e.g. in
tomcat, setting a system property is difficult / impossible.
The second issue is that it is not possible to explicitly reference to the
com.sun... implementation from my code, since one can not rely on running in
the Sun JVM.
So my question:
- why the woodstox dependency?
- please could you remove this dependency?
It might be a good idea add some notes regarding this on the xml-commons web
pages.
Should xml-apis.jar be in the jvm/application endorsed directory?
