Xalan 1.4 with Xerces 2.2???

[RaviKiran <ve...@sun.com>]

Hi,

Could any body let me know if it is possible to use Xalan 1.4 with
Xerces 2.2.Would this require rebuilding the xalan source code? Would it
require major code changes in
Xalan 1.4?

Thanks in advance,
Ravi.

You cannot use Xalan 1.4 with Xerces 2.2.  You'll need the latest CVS, or
one fo the current 1.5 release candidates.  See the mail archive for more
info.

In Theory, Xalan 1.4 ought to be able to just treat Xerces as a SAX parser 
and this should work... unless we have code that uses some Xerces-specific 
APIs (incremental parsing, for example) which have changed since then.  If 
nothing else, it should be possible to wrap a SAXSource around any SAX 
parser and run from that.

Try it and see?

(Seriously: The folks actively working on the Xalan code have almost 
forgotten the details of Xalan 1.4 at this point. It's just about as easy 
for you to check for interactions with the newer parser as it would be for 
us.)
