Usage of Xerces classes generates instability with regard to app servers
------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: ODE-242
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ODE-242
             Project: ODE
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: BPEL Runtime
    Affects Versions: 1.2
         Environment: weblogic 9.2
            Reporter: Douglas Scott Jackson


Application servers typically include a version of xerces in their system 
classpath may conflict with
the version used by Ode.  Altering the class loading hierarchy of an App Server 
such as weblogic is
not supported.  This means that applications wishing to bundle or use Ode will 
have a tough time
supporting different versions of the app server.  Applications may need to 
support multiple versions
of application servers due to support policies.  Therefore using a technology 
like xerces may inhibit
the adoption of Ode greatly.  In my experience higher level APIs (JAXB, JAXP, 
etc) are far more likely
to work across multiple versions of servers.

An example of this is trying to use the current 1.2 version of Ode sources with 
Weblogic 9.2.
