JAXP

The Java API for XML Processing (JAXP) defines a generic API for processing XML documents and transforming an XML source. The javax.xml.parsers package contains classes and interfaces needed to parse XML documents in SAX 2.0 and DOM 2.0 modes, while the javax.xml.transform package contains the classes and interfaces needed for transforming XML data (a source) into another format (a result). An XML document can manifest itself in several ways: a stream (File, InputStream, or Reader), SAX events, or a DOM tree representation. The aim of JAXP is to provide applications with a portable way for parsing and transforming XML documents. WebLogic Server is shipped with JAXP 1.1 classes and interfaces — by default, this implementation of JAXP is configured to use WebLogic’s built-in parsers and transformers.

The JAXP specification demands that you set the appropriate system properties in order to plug in a custom XML parser (or transformer). However, WebLogic deviates from this model. Instead of using system properties, WebLogic allows you to determine the actual parsers used in two ways:

  • You can create an XML Registry that lets you configure server-specific and document-specific parsers and transformers. XML Registries are domain resources configured using the Administration Console.

  • You can define application-scoped XML settings in the WebLogic-specific weblogic-application.xml deployment descriptor for an EAR. Here you can specify parser and transformer factories that apply to an enterprise ...
