xerces 2.0.0 Filenames in InputSource

["Nestel, Frank ISC 6" <ne...@de.ina.com>]

Hi,

I tried to plug in Xerces 2.0.0 into our application
yesterday and realized that it is not possible any
more to use a valid Windows paths as argument of the
InputSource constructor. This worked with probably all
versions of Xerces 1.x. As far as i understood the 
JAXP JavaDoc the InputSource(String) constructor
argument can be an URL but don't has to. Is the behaviour 
of Xerces 2.0.0 intended (and we'd need to rewrite
all our parser calls), a bug, or do I have to further
investigat the special circumstances of the failure?

Puzzled,

Yes, it is intended and is meant to bring the Xerces2 parser
into closer compliance with the specs. There is a FAQ item
in the docs that shows how to rewrite DOS paths as URIs.
