[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-2224?page=comments#action_12425651 ] Matt Hogstrom commented on GERONIMO-2224: -----------------------------------------
Let's add this. Its a bug :)...I'll pop it in. > Add a geronimo specific system property for controlling dom, sax, and > transformer creation > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: GERONIMO-2224 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-2224 > Project: Geronimo > Issue Type: Improvement > Security Level: public(Regular issues) > Components: core > Reporter: Dain Sundstrom > Assigned To: Dain Sundstrom > Fix For: 1.2, 1.1.x > > Attachments: factory.patch > > > It is common for poorly coded application to set the > javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory, javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory, > or javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory properties directly. If the value > of these system properties do not point to a modern xml parser such as > xerces, critical Geronimo services such as the LocalAttributeManager will > stop working. This due to only modern parsers supporting the setAttribute > method on the factory (specifically crimson throws an exception). > The attached patch redirects all call to > DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance(), SAXParserFactory.newInstance() and > TransformerFactory.newInstance() to a Geronimo XmlUtil class. This class > checks the property geronimo.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory, > geronimo.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory, or > geronimo.xml.transform.TransformerFactor, and if present creates that > factory. Otherwise the code simply delegates to the default newInstance > implementation. > Once this patch has been committed the server can be launched with a full xml > factory declaration using the following command: > java \ > > -Dgeronimo.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory=org.apache.xerces.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl > \ > > -Dgeronimo.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory=org.apache.xerces.jaxp.SAXParserFactoryImpl > \ > > -Dgeronimo.xml.transform.TransformerFactory=org.apache.xalan.processor.TransformerFactoryImpl > \ > -jar bin/server.jar > * This patch includes a test case for the new functionality. > * This patch includes two new classes which must be svn added. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
