In general, the user can control which implementation is used as JAXP provides for pluggable implementations. One place for more info is the doc http://www.apache.org/~edwingo/apache2001/talk-apachecon.pdf. There is slide on "changing the implementation". Unfortunately, it's a PDF doc. -Edwin --------------------------------------------------------------------- In case of troubles, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
