Hi,

I know my question is very basic, but i just need some clarifiactions.

 

I am using jdk1.4 and xerces2.2.1

As xerces bundled with jdk1.4, I don't want to use that. So i have put xercesImpl.jar file in the classpath, and then use the following factory method to get the xerces parser reference.

 

DocumentBuilderFactory dbFactory =   

                DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();

DocumentBuilder dBuilder = dbFactory.newDocumentBuilder();

 

xercesImpl.jar has javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory.properties set to org.apache.xerces.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl

 

I am wondering why jaxp is added in the package structure. Isn't it xerces parser only and not jaxp?

you are using jaxp api's to create a DOM parser [1], section 3.2 in [2].
If you want to use xerces dom  parser directly refer to dom programs under samples directory.

Should I set it to some other value for xerces parser or is this the correct behavious?

Does this answer your question ?.

Any help will be appreciated.
