[jira] Commented: (XALANJ-2196) Unneeded BCEL classes in Xalan.jar (2 jar version)

["Eric Everman (JIRA)" <xa...@xml.apache.org>]

    [ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XALANJ-2196?page=comments#action_12362455 ] 

Eric Everman commented on XALANJ-2196:
--------------------------------------

I'd like to add a (mild) sense of urgency to this:

While applications are expecting XML/XSLT parsers to be swapped, they are not expecting versions of BCEL to be swaped.  Last I tried, placing the xalan.jar on the class path of Oracle's OC4J (a J2EE application server) bombed the entire server because of clashing BCEL versions.

I've managed to force this to work by futzing with a custom build, but I think its safe to say that anyone running a framework that makes use of BCEL is essentially cut-off from this version of Xalan.  Could this patch possibly be included in a dot release?

Thanks Much!

> The binary '2 jar' distribution of Xalan includes the BCEL classes in the xalan.jar.  These classes are not required for Xalan, only for XMLTC.  I marked this bug as 'major' because it prevents xalan 2.7 from being used under Oracle's OC4J J2EE web container, which relies on an older version of BCEL and will crash if the newer version is on the classpath.
> Note that I was able to get the 2.7 version of xalan to work under OC4J by using a non-public portion of the ant build script to build the xalan.jar without BCEL.
