But how? DOMImplementationRegistry.newInstance() [1] will search the jars on the classpath for a file called " META-INF/services/org.w3c.dom.DOMImplementationSourceList" and will find it in xercesImpl.jar. An instance of the class listed in this file will be added to the registry. If xercesImpl.jar were missing this file it would still add "org.apache.xerces.dom.DOMXSImplementationSourceImpl" to the registry because it is hard coded as the fallback implementation if none was found while searching the classpath. > -- > View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/How-does-Xerces- > J-register-with-the-W3C-DOMImplementationRegistry-factory-- > tp18491710p18491710.html > Sent from the Xerces - J - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks.
