Re: JRE 1.4 endorsed mechanism

[Berin Lautenbach]

Stefan,

With thanks!  I hoped there would be a more elegant solution than just 
copying the file to the endorsed directory :>.

Cheers,
        Berin

The xml-security library requires that xalan be installed in

With Xerces-J we are going even further, we put the CVS HEAD jar onto
the bootclasspath so it gets used instead of Crimson.  This should be
possible with Xalan as well, and to me it even looks as if we'd use
the same mechanism (type="boot" on the <jar> element).

Looking at the output from the last gump run for security, it would
appear that the old library that comes with 1.4 is being used :


Seems build.clonevm is becoming a FAQ 8-)

The bootclasspath trick is not working since xml-security's <junit>
task runs in a different Java VM by using fork="true".  Ant's CVS HEAD
uses a new Java system property to ensure that the forked VM uses the
same bootclasspath as the one running Ant.
I'll enable that property for xml-security in a few minutes.

Cheers

        Stefan
