Thanks for replying,

I can seen that the issue has been fixed in 2.10.0 but still to be launched.
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XERCESJ-1412.


Can we compile any of Xerces Java 2.x with file as mention in the link below
to resolve the issue. will it works
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?revision=787353&view=revision

Any pointer which can confirm whether  Xerces Java 1.4.3 is affected or not
affected with xml vulnerability.
Also if what is the last version that was available with Xerces 1.x and any
guess if it was having xml vulnerability issues.

With Regards
Atul Parti
