Hi Werner,
I think maybe Stoil is best placed to do this, seeing as that's who
reported having an issue? I was just pointing out a possible reason why
Castor has a dependency on Xerces and doesn't use the version that
comes with Java 5. I haven't checked out that area of the Castor
codebase - it's possible that it could use a fallback mechanism to check
if it's running within a Sun Java 5 or above JVM and instantiate the
bundled version directly before trying the vanilla Xerces version.
I'm currently working on a similar problem for another open-source
project, so if I find something that helps me there, I'll obviously
share that with the group.
Cheers,
James

James,
can you please create a new issue at
http://jira.codehaus.org/broewse/CASTOR, and I'll handle the rest.
Please make sure that you attach all relevant information from this
thread to the new issue.
Regards
Werner

In Sun's Java 5 JDK, they learned from bundling Xalan-J in 1.4 as part
of rt.jar, and put the bundled version of Xerces into a different
namespace. I think you still have a dependency on Xerces when using Java
5 since Castor directly tries to create an instance of
org.apache.xml.serialize.XMLSerializer, rather than the Sun Java 5 class
com.sun.org.apache.xml.serialize.XMLSerializer.
Cheers,

Yes and no. In other words, it depends.
If you want to use 'pretty printing', there's currently a dependency on
Xerces as Castor internally uses Xerces to achieve e.g. indentation. But
good news is that there's an interface involved which you can provide a
custom serializer for.
What surprises me, though, is that you are facing problems with JDK 5.0,
as I am sure this has been tested before. What's the problem you are
facing ?

Hi,
I have a problem to detach from xerces 1.4 jar. class
org.exolab.castor.xml.XercesSerializer has in its constructor
Class.forName("org.apache.xml.serialize.XMLSerializer").newInstance();
This results in class not found if I try using xerces comming with JDK
1.5. Is it possible to remove this dependency?
Best regards,
Stoil
