the java endorsed standards override mechanism docs at
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/standards/index.html
seem to indicate that only a few selected classes can be overridden,
among them
org.w3c.dom
org.xml.sax
org.xml.sax.ext
org.xml.sax.helpers
however, we attempt to copy all these into tomcat's endorsed libs directory:
sh-3.00$ ls -1 build/lenya/webapp/WEB-INF/lib/endorsed
jakarta-bcel-20040329.jar
jakarta-regexp-1.4.jar
xalan-2.7.0.jar
xercesImpl-2.8.1.jar
xml-apis-1.3.03.jar
the only package for which it is legal to do this is xml-apis, and the
xercesImpl package does contain a single class from the org.w3c.dom realm.
if we need them, they should be copied to our private WEB-INF/lib and
taken care of by the webapp-specific classloader iiuc, as explained in
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.0-doc/class-loader-howto.html
can anyone comment on this?
