Re: JAXP and setting org.xml.sax.driver

Elliotte,

Wow, I am actually using your book "Processing XML with Java" as a guide, and that is exactly what you say in your book.  But my question is, how do I, or can I, permanently set this system property?  Is there a system property file I can edit?  I found in the archives that I can code System.setProperty() in my program to set the property to the crimson parser, and that works, but only on the fly.  I also notice that when I tried using org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser that class wasn't found, so apparently the jsdk 1.4 download only contains org.apache.crimson.parser.XMLReaderImpl.

The SAX implementation you're using is buggy.
XMLReaderFactory.createXMLReader() should fall back to a default
parser if the org.xml.sax.driver property is not set, but a lot of
parsers get this one wrong.
