Hi Michael,

thanks for the response,

Does that mean Xerces2.x is not backward compatiable and in that case we
would require for our code to modify to incorporate latest Xerces 2.x.
Also does Xerces2.x has resolve the xml vulnerability issue. I need to
identify which is the latest Xerces is handling the xml vulnerability.

Regards
Atul Parti
