Hi, javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory is supposed to search for the factory implementation in some places. The last place to look for is:
========= START QUOTE ========== • Platform default DocumentBuilderFactory instance. ========= END QUOTE ========== Correct me if I'm wrong, but if this line didn't appear in JAXP specification, everyone could use sun's implementation for JAXP, right? Nowadays, Apache has to write its own implementation to JAXP, in order to hard-code our "platform default factory instance". In my opinion, this option should be removed, and I consider writing Sun about it. Do I miss anything? Is there any advantage in including this option? - Isaac --------------------------------------------------------------------- In case of troubles, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
