Well the whole point is that in this cases I know it.
I have specified which implementation to use. I just
want the TraxLiaison to use it.

My own code is a bad example :-(
I just need to get Saxon, so I just do the
System.property change. But this is not generic enough
that is why I did not propose it as a patch.
Now, what I was thinking was to modify the the code to
do something like this:
/** The trax TransformerFactory */
private TransformerFactory tfactory = null;
{
if(useFactory == null)
tfactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
else {
tfactory = (TransformerFactory)
ctxLoader.loadClass(useFactory);
}
....
}
where useFactory contains the value you ussually give
to TraX via the System property.
Would such an arrangement work?
