Hi Hari, You can change the package structure of xerces and compile again: (e.g. com.foo.org.apache...) I don't know what the legal implications are for this, but I've seen it before. You probably won't be able to share objects, but if your module is self-contained you would be able to use the new version of Xerces in it.
This, of course, assumes it's impossible to simply change the rest of the code to conform to the new interface. There also are some behavior changes, e.g. schema locations must be valid URIs now. But your unit tests will catch those, right? ;) Chris P.S. You could go the ClassLoader route, too, but that's prone to a bunch of subtle errors... -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, December 10, 2004 00:36 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: xerces2 compatible with xerces 1.x Hi, Thanks for the response. This is still a hot issue for me, wondering if I can somehow isolate the xerces 2.x impl for use by my part of the app alone? Maybe by refactoring? I vaguely remember somebody mentioning doing this sometime earlier on this group...any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

If the code was only using standard APIs then you should be able to switch out Xerces 1.x with 2.x. If it was relying on some internal classes then migrating may be a bit of a challenge. > Alternatively, is there a way I can use XML Schema API implementation with > Xerces 1.x? The XML Schema API has only existed since Xerces 2.6.0. There is no implementation for Xerces 1.x. > Thanks for your help. > > -hari > > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Michael Glavassevich XML Parser Development IBM Toronto Lab E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
