Hi all, I'm using Geode in an application that uses the Apache implementation of Xerces. The Oracle JDK comes with its own implementation of Xerces.
I encountered an issue (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GEODE-3306) whereby cache.xml parsing fails with Apache Xerces; details are in JIRA. Currently there are two workarounds: 1. Remove the whitespace between elements in cache.xml 2. Load the JDK Xerces when parsing cache.xml I've submitted a pull request (https://github.com/apache/geode/pull/668) to make `CacheXmlParser` compatible with both versions of Xerces. This change would be useful for at least two groups of people: 1. Developers who are using the Apache implementation of Xerces throughout their application, and only want one implementation of Xerces 2. Developers who are using a non-Oracle JDK Does anyone have any objections to having `xercesImpl` as a test runtime dependency? I'd appreciate any feedback. Thank you! Best regards, - Darren Foong
