Using default SAXParser with JDK1.4

2003-04-08 22:44

Hi all,

 

Is it possible to use the default SAXParser that comes with jdk 1.4 rather than having to set the parser property explicitly? I have exen tried setting the parser property to javax.xml.parsers.SAXParser but it didn't work.

 

I am having significant problems with the sax parser and java web start where it cannot find the parser. I was hoping that using the default parser would overcome this,

The complete error message that I get in Java Web Start is

 

SAX 2 driver class org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser not found.

 

 

I have tried to setting the following in the jnlp file.

<resources>

<jar href="xerces.jar" />

<property name="org.xml.sax.driver" value="org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser"/>

</resources>

Hi,

 

Starting with the 0.4.6 version,

the "org.xml.sax.driver" system property

is not used anymore.

 

So, if you place a SAX 2.0 parser in your classpath

it will be automatically used by JasperReports.

 

With JDK1.4, there is already JAXP available in the classpath and everything should work.

But you need to apply this patch to the 0.4.6

version before trying to use it with JAXP:

Thank you,
