Xerces Parser

Hi,

We are having an issue where the Xerces 2.11 parser does not support the feature http://apache.org/xml/features/namespace-growth, we need to use the JDK internal version of Xerces which does.

Currently we are doing that by setting javax.xml.validation.SchemaFactory in etc/system.properties.
javax.xml.validation.SchemaFactory\:http\://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema = com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.jaxp.validation.XMLSchemaFactory

My question is why is Xerces 2.11 shipped with Karaf in lib/endorsed?

And would it be ok to remove it in our custom distribution of Karaf?

Thanks
Darren

I found this issue explaining why Xerces was added to lib/endorsed (bug fix for IBM Java)

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KARAF-2206

That was in 2013, is anyone who is running Linux and IBM Java 7 able to check that Xerces can be removed from lib/endorsed?

Cheers
Darren

I don't know, but it really, really, VERY SERIOUSLY should not be there.
Or anywhere else for that matter.

It must be OK, since anything that doesn't work with the JDK JAXP is broken anyway.

Thanks for bringing this up!
