Hello, I (assume I) have some problems using a SAXParser "the OSGi way".
Code like this is currently (Karaf 4.2.0 and Java 8) working: === final SAXParserFactory factory = SAXParserFactory.newInstance(); final SAXParser saxParser; try { saxParser = factory.newSAXParser(); } catch (ParserConfigurationException | SAXException ex) { throw new IllegalStateException(ex); } === I have read this: https://osgi.org/javadoc/r4v41/org/osgi/util/xml/XMLParserActivator.html So I would assume there exist a SAX XML parser (factory) "somewhere" that can be referenced as an OSGi service. I tried Xerces: === karaf@root()> bundle:install -s mvn:org.apache.servicemix.bundles/org.apache.servicemix.bundles.xerces/2.12.0_1 karaf@root()> bundle:classes -a org.apache.servicemix.bundles.xerces | grep SAXParserFactory META-INF/services/javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory | exported: false org/apache/xerces/jaxp/SAXParserFactoryImpl.class | exported: true org/apache/xerces/jaxp/javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory | exported: true META-INF/services/javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory | exported: false org/apache/xerces/jaxp/SAXParserFactoryImpl.class | exported: true org/apache/xerces/jaxp/SAXParserFactoryImpl.java | exported: true org/apache/xerces/jaxp/javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory | exported: true karaf@root()> service:list -a -n | grep -i sax [nothing] === I also tried to install the OSGi XML util: === karaf@root()> bundle:install -s mvn:org.osgi/org.osgi.util.xml/1.0.1 karaf@root()> service:list -a -n | grep -i sax [nothing] === Can you point me to a SAX parser factory that is provided as an OSGi service? Should I rely that on a working "SAXParserFactory.newInstance()" call? How to use SAX parsing correctly? Best regards, Markus
