Hi,
I've just realized that when you install Tomcat 5 from a fresh workspace, Xerces is not copied under common/endorsed. I don't remember what was the decision regarding Xerces. Have we decide to completely remove it? If yes, then we shoud remove the dependency in build.properties and unpdate the RELEASE-NOTES. What was the decision?
It's my fault (sorry), and there was a decision about that (but I don't remember when it happened). I did it in April, for Tomcat 5.0.2 (looking at the CVS logs). I suppose putting it back could be considered.
I agree. the xmlXXX element are still available on the <host> element so we should still support it. I can work on putting it back if everybody agree.
I think the rationale was:
- It uses 800KB
- It makes Tomcat takes about 10 - 15% more time to startup than Crimson
- Few people use it (a significant amount use JDK 1.4, and IBM JDK users have it integrated ;-) )
- We're not going to do a JDK 1.4 version of TC
- Server side validation is dead slow (esp schema validation ;-) ), so it is not a problem if it doesn't work ;-)
- Better tools are IMO provided for validation (come on, try the deployer a little bit :) ); the deployer also uses the validation code you put in ContextConfig (so don't worry, your code is not useless even if validation is disabled): see the ValidatorTask
You should be able to unearth that in the archives and see what the reasons given were.
I think these are decent reasons for removing it from the server package.
Xerces is included with the deployer, where it is used for webapp validation (which works good for me in the deployer), so it shouldn't be removed completely.
Strange.I think the web.xml is not mapped to the proper dtd (IMBW) when used from the endorsed dir.
Really ?
Also, when turning xml validation on with Xerces, all app throw the following:
SEVERE: Parse Error at line 5 column 10: cvc-elt.1: Cannot find the declaration of element 'web-app'.
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: cvc-elt.1: Cannot find the declaration of element 'web-app'.
at org.apache.xerces.util.ErrorHandlerWrapper.createSAXParseException(Unknown Source)
at org.apache.xerces.util.ErrorHandlerWrapper.error(Unknown Source)
at org.apache.xerces.impl.XMLErrorReporter.reportError(Unknown Source)
at org.apache.xerces.impl.XMLErrorReporter.reportError(Unknown Source)
? That's a bit odd. What's that: cvc-elt.1 ?
Same things here....I really like debugging cvc-elt.1 ;-)
It doesn't seem a fatal error, though. The webapps are working despite the error.
