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. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
