I think that the dependency on Xerces 2.0.1 is excessively restrictive as well. IIRC (maybe Jean-François could provide some of the details he found?), Xerces 2.0.1 was the only Xerces parser that we have found so far that does not throw StackOverflow or other fatal exceptions when an XML file using XML schema is parsed. I believe (Jean-François: let me know if my understanding is incorrect) that this problem exists even if schema validation is turned off. > > And having schema validation turned on by default has a strong -1 from > me - if the spec _requires_ schema validation, then implement it at > deployment time.

Especially since we use this same technique for JSP page compilation. -- ________________________________________________________________ Patrick Luby Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sun Microsystems Phone: 408-276-7471 901 San Antonio Road, USCA14-303 Palo Alto, CA 94303-4900 ________________________________________________________________ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
