Regarging JAXP, if I understand correctly, I can build with and ship the jaxp.jar and crimson.jar from JAXP-1.1 but users can still run with the older jaxp.jar and parser.jar from jaxp-1.0.1, right? I have two concerns. First I want to preserve the ability for existing users to upgrade to 3.2.4 by simply copying the new webserver.jar file into tomcat/lib. Second, because of the class loader issues in 3.2.x, webapps see the classes from tomcat/lib before they see the ones in their WEB-INF/lib directory. Thus replacing the parser in tomcat/lib could have unintended side effects on existing applications. I don't have any problem shipping with the later JAXP stuff as long as we can still run with the older version that we've shipped with in the past.
I'll take a look at the diffs between the Jdk12Interceptor in tomcat_32 and 3.3 and how it looks.
