javax.xml.transform.TransformerConfigurationException

[Arnaud D <ad...@yahoo.com>]

This has probably been discussed before but sorry, the archive is
unavailable.

I get a javax.xml.transform.TransformerConfigurationException, here is the
stack trace :

After investigation, I found out that the environment variable
"org.xml.sax.driver" has to be set to "org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser"
This should be done automatically when using xerces/xalan (as it is on my
home machine), but unfortunatly the security manager (the rights I have on
my ISP's servlet engine) on the production machine prevents xerces from
doing so and fordbids me to call the System.setProperty() method (I get a
SecurityException when doing so)...

Is there a workaround for this ?

Thanks in advance.
AD.

PS : I use JDK1.3, tomcat 3.2, JDOM, Xerces and Xalan.
