Hello,
A question about xalan java (I am using xalan java 2.0.0). The release notes say the following: "The Xalan-Java version 2.0.0 has been tested with Xerces-Java version 1.2.3. The Xalan-Java version 2.0.0 download from xml.apache.org includes xerces.jar from Xerces-Java version 1.2.3....Important You may experience unpredictable anomalies if your Xalan and Xerces builds are not in synch. If you download an update to Xalan, check the release notes to determine which version of Xerces you should use.". So it appears that it is not recommended to use a xerces version other than 1.2.3 with xalan 2.0.0.
At the same time, the doc talks about pluggability of other parsers in the section "Plugging in a Transformer and XML parser".
My question is: If I can plugin other parsers, why is it a problem to plugin a different xerces version? Also, if xalan internally uses standard interfaces (like JAXP) to call the parser, I would presume that any conformant parser would work.
Please help in understanding this apparent anomaly.
Thanks,
