98 A note on JAXP
99 -----------------------
100
101 Since Java 1.4, JAXP (Java API for XML Processing) is part of the
102 JRE/JDK. Every JVM includes the APIs and an implementation. However,
103 older JREs often contain implementations with bugs that are triggered
104 by code in Apache FOP and therefore need to be overridden. Now, since
105 JAXP is part of the class library, special precautions are necessary
106 to replace the original implementations. This is not done by simply
107 adding new JARs to the classpath as these classes would never be
108 loaded (due to Java's class loader hierarchy).
109
110 Replacing the default implementations involves understanding the
111 "Endorsed Standards Override Mechanism".
112 More information can be found here:
113 http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/standards/index.html
114
115 See also:
116 http://xml.apache.org/xalan-j/faq.html#faq-N100EF
117
118 Essentially, you have two different possibilities:
119 - add the replacement JARs in the jre/lib/endorsed directory of your JRE.
120 - Use the -Xbootclasspath/p: option when starting the JVM (may not be
121 available for every JVM).
