library dependencies

[tom.baeyens]

hi,

is there any specific description of what library dependencies microcontainer has ? it's mainly the runtime required libraries that i searching for.

anyone knows the latest status of the JAXB dependency on the xerces lib ? i read somewhere that dependency is going to be resolved...

regards, tom.

Download the standlone release, look at the lib folder.

Alex is going to remove the Xerces dependency.
But since we are moving to schemas, you'll still need a schema enabled sax parser
i.e. not crimson.

I think, if you can avoid namespaces and other schema features in your XML then it should not be a requirement for the SAX parser to support schemas.

i'm using the JVM build-in JAXP dom parser to extract information from the process definition xml files. i'm dependent on namespaces and schemas. this seems to work with namespaces the JVM for jBPM. should i be expecting some problem with this ?

or does the problem only occur in pre 1.4.2 JVMs ?

is there any more alaborate description of this problem ?

regards, tom.

The current problem is that Alex uses some Xerces classes
to get the schema model (in particular annotations).
This dependency needs to be removed, probably by forking these classes into JBossXB?

The other problems is the use of DOM level3 classes
(or at least referencing the interfaces at compile time) which we will need
to provide an implementation of when using JDK1.4
Currenty they come from the xerces jars.

This is really a topic for that thread.
