Guillaume,

Woden validation in the DOM implementation consists of schema validation by
the XML parser then semantic validation of the Woden WSDL object model. The
dependency on Xerces if for schema validation. We thought about using the
JAXP API to enable schema validation, but it's optional whether the JAXP
implementations actually support schema validation (for example, the
Crimson parser used in the Sun JREs does not).

We also thought we might need the Xerces API for some functions like URI
resolving and reporting WSDL line/column numbers with errors. We don't have
line/col numbers yet, but Graham might be able to comment on whether URI
resolving requires Xerces?

We do need to think about building/distributing Woden in a modularized way
to isolate the DOM and StAX/AXIOM implementations from each other (e.g. so
a DOM-based user does not need StAX/AXIOM dependcies and vice versa).

It seems that the DOMWSDLReader is strongly tied to
xerces for parsing DOM.  Even if the parsing is performed
ouside, this class will still throw an CNFE if xerces is not
in the classpath.

Is there any plans to use standard DOM apis instead ?
