[jira] Updated: (ODE-242) Usage of Xerces classes generates instability with regard to app servers

["Douglas Scott Jackson (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

Douglas Scott Jackson updated ODE-242:
--------------------------------------

    Description: 
Application servers typically include a version of xerces in their system classpath that may conflict with
the version used by Ode.  Altering the class loading hierarchy of an App Server such as weblogic is
not supported.  This means that applications wishing to bundle or use Ode will have a tough time
supporting different versions of the app server.  Applications may need to support multiple versions
of application servers due to support policies.  Therefore using a technology like xerces may inhibit
the adoption of Ode greatly.  In my experience higher level APIs (JAXB, JAXP, etc) are far more likely
to work across multiple versions of servers.

An example of this is trying to use the current 1.2 version of Ode sources with Weblogic 9.2.
