I just decided to upgrade from xml4j_2_0_15 to the latest, to find that IBM has passed the buck to Xerces.
Ok, sounds great. But my java code does not run with the new package, and when I went to recompile, the first error I get is caused by the fact that DocumentImpl was declared final by Xerces. WHY ?? Is there another, front end class, for DocumentImpl ? We have a critical class in our code, that extends DocumentImpl, and not that code won't compile. Can someone please comment on this ?
