Whoo-hoo! Excellent analysis of the areas in Xalan that may be affected by this issue. I suppose one simple work item for now could be to simply move all loading stuff into a worker method, so we can experiment with re-doing the implementation later. This should be safe, it just takes work to create the worker and re-do other code to point to it. Note that we probably should address javax.xml.* loaders separately. Note also that we should be careful for now to keep JDK 1.1.x compatibility (let's argue that later; I'd like to keep this thru Xalan-J 2.4 and then drop it after that) and try to keep intra-Xalan-package dependencies down. ---- you Edwin Goei <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote ---- > Yes, I agree that something needs to be done in this area. (I was just > discussing this issue.) As was I. One of the problems is that this is a very complex issue that varies depending on JDK version, environment, other software, etc.; plus that fact that there are few classloader experts out there. Plus, how can we efficiently get the right set of people together who really understand the details to get some traction on solutions? I keep hearing bits of the problem from different people, but rarely a larger perspective. > In addition, there needs to be a good way to > identify the version of the impl.

I'm happy to maintain it, but I'm not a packaging/versioning expert, so I've only done the simple stuff so far. Plus I want to keep a version that's JDK 1.1.x compatible, so I haven't had the time to do the reflection layer to start using the Java 2 packaging APIs (but would be happy to if someone else helped). ===== - Shane <eof .sig="'When I use a word,' Humpty Dumpty said, in a very scornful tone, 'it means just what I choose it to mean - neither more nor less'" "Oohayu oyod?!"=gis. /> __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
