I remember we decided to disable XML schema validation. Crimson Xerces are available. Crimson is the default one. Yes validation is turned off by default. At least in tomcat5 I never use xerces - only the bundled parser, and so far I've seen no problems. Crimson is a very good parser, and it still faster that Xerces in some case. The only reason I see for bundling xerces is for when we turn on validation the web.xml used a schema for validation. XML schema validation is just bad - if the spec would _require_ the container to validate ( and I hope it won't ) - then we can provide a separate validator that will include xerces and some script that users can run. From what I know, that will not happen for the 2.4 timeframe. -- Jeanfrancois Costin - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Why does Tomcat use xerces under java 1.4 instead of the internaljvm classes?
BTW - in the web.xml files that I write I usually remove the declaration on the top ( to make sure the validation doesn't happen ). I can't recall which servlet engine I saw this in, but I have seen at least one servlet engine that rejected web.xml unless it contained the expected DTD declaration. [Personally I found that extraordinarily obnoxious -- but that's what you get for using a commercial servlet engine -- which it was.] -- Jess Holle - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
