Julian Reschke commented on JCR-1767:
-------------------------------------

Yes. As far as I can tell, 1.4 is nearing end of life anyway (see 
<http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/>). So maybe we should just park this one, and 
see that we can accelerate getting rid of the requrement to support 1.4.

Related to this:  the way SerializingContentHandler.getSerializer() currently 
works seems to cause the "probe" happening upon each invocation, which seems to 
be a very expensive thing to do. As the outcome of the probe only depends on 
the VM + loaded classes, maybe the result should be held in a static variable?




> WebDAV XML serialization in JDK 1.4 broken

>                 Key: JCR-1767
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-1767
>             Project: Jackrabbit
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: jackrabbit-webdav
>            Reporter: Julian Reschke
>            Priority: Minor
>
> WebDAV uses XmlRequestEntity for serializing XML, which in turn uses 
> org.apache.jackrabbit.commons.xml.SerializingContentHandler to work around 
> the JDK 1.4 problem (serializing in absence of explicit namespace 
> declarations).
> The following test fails under JDK 1.4, but passed with newer JDKs:
>     public void testXmlSerialization() throws ParserConfigurationException, 
> IOException, SAXException {
>         
>         DocumentBuilderFactory dbf = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
>         dbf.setNamespaceAware(true);
>         DocumentBuilder db = dbf.newDocumentBuilder();
>         
>         Document doc = db.newDocument();
>         doc.appendChild(doc.createElementNS("DAV:", "propfind"));
>         
>         XmlRequestEntity xmlent = new XmlRequestEntity(doc);
>         ByteArrayOutputStream bos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
>         xmlent.writeRequest(bos);
>         
>         Document doc2 = db.parse(new ByteArrayInputStream(bos.toByteArray()));
>         Element docelem = doc2.getDocumentElement();
>         assertEquals("DAV:", docelem.getNamespaceURI());
>     }
