[opencms-dev] OpenCms 5-3-5 on OC4J 9.0.4

[Ross Randell]

For Users:

Just a word of advice for anyone installing OpenCMS 5-3-5 on OC4J 9.0.4 (10g). You need to explicitly set the SAXParserFactory to user xerces when you startup the OC4J container. IE: add the following to you startup script:

-Djavax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory=org.apache.xerces.jaxp.SAXParserFactoryImpl

Failure to configure this will result in Class Cast and Null Pointer exception while importing the workspace. 

For the Developers:

As Xerces is packaged with the default 5-3-5 build, should the code be updated to use the Xerces Factory explicitly or is it preferable to leave the parser configuration to the user.
