FYI
I have noticed that the majority of xml file provided with jboss have
and encoding set to Cp1252. You may not know but this is only supported
by default by suns xml parser. If you were to try Xerces to parse these
file you would receive a parse error telling you that this encoding is
not supported. This is because Cp1252 is a java encoding and not an XML
supported one. Xerces will parse these files with this encoding but you
have to turn on one of its features. It will not work with jaxp using
xerces as you can't turn on features via jaxp.
It's interesting to note that Sun itself ships j2ee ri xml descriptors
with this encoding. I really don't think they should.
Just in case you guys planned to change your xml parser.
