[jira] Commented: (JDO-468) Identify JDK 1.3 XML parser or increase requisite minimum JDK level to 1.4

Matthew T. Adams commented on JDO-468:
--------------------------------------

JAXP, the standard API for XML parsing, is available for JDK 1.3, via a separate download.  I'm not sure which version of the JAXP standard works on JDK 1.3, but we're not using anything extremely advanced in the JAXP API.  It comes standard with JDK 1.4 onward.  Proposed solution is to just use JAXP, and note that users must install & configure JAXP themselves for pre-JDK 1.4 usages of jdoconfig.xml.  There is no impact on the traditional usage of .properties files on any platform.

> With the additions proposed in JDO-467, we need to identify the XML parser to use.  The current minimum JDK supported by JDO is 1.3, which doesn't come standard with an XML parser.  We can either update the minimum required JDK to 1.4, which does come with an XML parser out of the box, or identify a solution that works in a 1.3 and later environment.
