Hi Tony,
Having these properties set in your jaxp.properties file does not mean that
they will be set in your system properties. When the JAXP code looks up
factory implementations it uses a lookup procedure. First, it checks
system properties. Next it checks the jaxp.properties file (if it exists.)
If that doesn't work, then it uses the jar service provider mechanism.
And, finally, if that fails it uses a fallback class name.
Ilene.

System.getProperty() returning nulls...
PM
I've been having troubles lately with my Xalan/Xerces configuration
under JDK1.4.
I have a jaxp.properties file in $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib setup as follows
(minus the line breaks):
javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory=
org.apache.xalan.processor.TransformerFactoryImpl
javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory=
org.apache.xerces.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl
javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory=
org.apache.xerces.jaxp.SAXParserFactoryImpl
How come these values are not returned by System.getProperty() calls
with the corresponding keys?
eg. System.getProperty("javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory")
The above call returns null, although I've confirmed that the correct
transformer and parsers are configured.
If I set the corresponding property via a -D arg to the JVM everything
works just fine.
I'm fairly new to Java, so I may be missing something completely
obvious. Any help would be much appreciated.
thanks,
/tony
