Yeah, unfortunately, we can't release with IP issues like this. However, Woodstox actually looks to be quite nice from a quick glance. It's ASL. It's actively maintained (Stax is not). The downside, of course, is we have virtually no running time w/ it. On Sep 9, 2008, at 10:57 AM, Yoni

FYI, I'm testing Solr with woodstox now and will probably do some ad hoc stress testing too. But woodstox is a quality parser. I expect less problems then we had with the reference implementation (and it may even be faster too) -Yonik

We have released with StaX earlier. We have never tested in production environments with woodstox. Even though I doubt there will be a problem but we can never know unless we use it. Let's not delay 1.3 anymore. We can make this change for 1.4 On Tue, Sep 9, 2008 at 7:11 PM, Grant Ingersoll <[EMAI

Someone brought up an issue with the StAX licensem, and after digging through legal-discuss archives it seems the easiest way forward is to perhaps replace it with the geronimo stax API and the woodstox implementation. I brought it up on legal-discuss again, but I'm not hopeful of an unequivocal a
