Hi All,

If I interpret this correctly, Batik uses the following entry in
XMLResourceDescriptor.properties to instantiate a parser in
SAXDocumentFactory through the SAX XMLReaderFactory:

org.xml.sax.driver = org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser

There's no Xerces-dependency in Java code, only SAX. Neither does the
PDFTranscoder use Xerces-specific functionality.

This should probably be improved in Batik.

Yes, there is nothing against JAXP, this code was all written before JAXP existed. Since then no one has taken the time to ensure we are using it properly. Also Ideally there would be some sort of transition where both might work.

   Contributions are always welcome! ;)

I see. I've added JAXP and Xerces to the classpath.

Isn't it somewhat strange that org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser is explicitely referenced? I'd think everyone uses JAXP meanwhile. Do you access Xerces specific functionality?
