Hi. We have been using the documentbuilderfactory interface, which defaults to java's implementation of dom parser (com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactory). We are planning to upgrade it to xerces-j 2.8.1. However we found the interfaceImpl (org.apache.xerces.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactory) insufficient for our needs, and would want to use Xerces' other implementation of the dom parser (org.apache.xerces.parsers.DOMParser). Problem is, we have a large amount of existing xml files stored and it is critical the parser behavior stays relatively constant through the upgrade, ie what validates should stay the same , as well as for those that didn't. Question is, is there a different between the implementation of DOMParser vs DocumentBuilderFactory we should be aware of that might lead to difference in terms of xml validation?
