[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-217?page=all ]
Stefan Guggisberg updated JCR-217:
----------------------------------
type: Improvement (was: Bug)
Priority: Minor (was: Critical)
Changing issue type/priority to "Improvement/Minor" since this is clearly not a
bug.
frankly i don't see a problem with the current implementation but if the
majority
considers the xerces dependency a problem i wouldn't be against removing it.
however,
adding a dependency to jaxp 1.3 could imo be a problem because of licensing
issues
(correct me if i am wrong).

> The class org.apache.jackrabbit.name.QName, has an unneeded dependency on
> Xerces which make it difficult to work with the XML parser or ones choice.
> The dependency (on line 246) is on the method "XMLChar.isValidNCName" only. I
> suggest one of the following solutions
> - Copy the implementation of this method to the QName class, it is a very
> simple implementation.
> - Use the mehtod provided in JAXP 1.3 javax.xml.XMLUtils.isValidNCName, which
> will create dependency on JAXP 1.3 though. JDK 1.5 ships with JAXP 1.3
> This dependency is causing us alot of trouble since we need to use another
> parser that is optimized for large XML data.
