>>>will it still be necessary for Xindice to be shipped with Xerces???.jar?
Well, yes and no. Xindice would still need a parser. Even though jdk 1.4.1 has one, that doesn't mean it is our recommended version. That also doesn't help our fellow users with older versions of the jdk. So, it is really still in regardless (because we want the package to run as-is), but that doesn't stop you from repackaging or deploying differently. -Kevin Ross -----Original Message----- From: Lixin Meng [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, February 14, 2003 2:10 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Xerces dependency I also did a test that removing the xerces???.jar from xml-xindice/java/lib directory. It doesn't seem affect the build nor basic query (I didn't test the RPC staff though). Is this because I am using j2sdk1.4.1, which already has xerces?

It seems that (http://ws.apache.org/xmlrpc/parser.html) you should be able to change that easily, by making this configurable (xindice config) and using the configured implementation in the code. Just my thoughts from a little perusing... -Kevin Ross -----Original Message----- From: Matt Liotta [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, February 14, 2003 12:27 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Xerces dependency I believe I remember seeing comments in the code about the dependency thus implying to me at least that removal of the dependency would be non-trivial. However, we have found a business need to remove the Xerces dependency and figured the project could benefit.
