Thanks for the additional information and clarification. Is this just J2EE
Phase 2? Does the dependency still exist for CFMX 6.1? I run CFMX 6.1 J2EE
on WebLogic 7 and I know from past experience that it uses Xerces and has
Xerces in it's classpath.


I haven't looked since then, so I don't know. However, the indication I got from Macromedia was that they weren't planning on changing the dependency on Crimson.

BTW, which parser is being used isn't always clear. JDK 1.4 ships with Crimson, so it will always be in the classpath. System properties, which determine which parser to use can be set on a per container basis, so it is possible to have one web application using one parser, while another web application uses a different one all on the same server. Further, assuming the parser's APIs are used directly it is possible to have some code work with one parser, while another set of code works with a different parser all in the same container. The question is, what happens when the expected parser is not there with code that isn't written to the JAXP API? It doesn't work obviously.

Try deploying CFMX without Crimson, but with some other JAXP compliant parser and see how it goes. Although, this whole thread is probably useless for those making use of JDK 1.4 since there would never be a reason to not have Crimson.
