Has anyone come up with a solution which allows one to use
xerces in an unsigned applet?

Hi,

I'll look into this - the security exception should be catched and at
least the default used. 

The idea is to have jaxp as part of the JDK ( or "standard/trusted" class
path ), but I see no reason why it shouldn't work inside the sandbox.
