I am having a very hard time porting my build to 1.6.0. I would like to get some input on how I should address my problem, not sure if it is my problem or ANTs.
I need to use Saxon for some of my XSLT transformations, since I am using specific features of it. However, Saxon comes with Aelfred XML parser which is non-validating. Which means that <xmlvalidate/> and <ejbjar/> for example cannot use them. In 1.5.x I solved this situation by having Saxon.jar outside of ant/lib and passing it to <style/> in the classpath. That does not seem to work in 1.6.0 since <style/> only uses the classpath to find the the Liason but the TRAX liason does not uses it to find the factories. If I put Saxon.jar in ant/lib. All tasks will start using Aelfred parser and will break. Even tasks that specify a classpath, they do not use it to find the parsers. The main issue here seem to be that non of our tasks set the ContextClassLoader before calling the methods on the xml-apis. If the context classloader where set, one could control on a task by task basis what parsers, transformers, etc, to use. I think the basic problem is in JAXPUtils where non of the methods allow passing a classloader. Had the methods allow a classloader, then they could have set the contextclassloader appropriatelly, before calling the XMLAPI library. Am I doing something wrong? I think we have a backward compatibility issue here. Jose Alberto
