[jdom-interest] JDOM and Oracle V2 Parser

[Andrew Schneider]

Hi All,

We are evaluating JDOM to utilize on a project.  It has been decided to use Oracle's parser here on the project (it is a full Oracle shop from database to app server).  I have read through the archives about the issue regarding IllegalAccessException and the reasons behind why it is occurring.  My question is, is there a work around to this, so we can use JDOM in conjunction with the Oracle Parser?  I searched the archives, but could find nothing addressing this.

Also, since we will be using the Oracle parser exclusively, will there be any need to have the xerces.jar in the classpath?  The FAQ is kind of confusing on this respect stating that xerces.jar has to be in there first.  However, if we use a SAX parser and specify the use of Oracle's either in JAXP or in the code, will we need xerces at all?  This is kind of a sticking point on the team, only having the Oracle parser library in the classpath.

Thanks,
Andrew Schneider
