Database Software

Hello,

I am having issues with using using NDM in conjuction with Spring 3. The problem is that there is a dependency on the ConfigManager class in that it has to use Oracle's xml parser from xmlparserv2.jar, and this parser seems to have a history of problems with parsing Spring schemas.

My setup is as follows:
Spring Version: 3.0.1
Oracle: 11GR2 and corresponding spatial libraries

Note that when using the xerces parser, there is no issue here. It only while using Oracle's specific parser which appears to be hard-coded into the ConfigManager. Spring fortunately offers a workaround, where I can force it to use a specific parser when loading the spring configuration as follows:

-Djavax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory=com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl

But this is an extra deployment task we'd rather not have. Note that this issue has been brought up before in relation to OC4J. See the following link:

My question is, is there any other way to configure LOD where it won't have the dependency on the oracle parser?

Also, fyi, here is the exception that is occurring as well as the header for my spring file.

org.springframework.beans.factory.xml.XmlBeanDefinitionStoreException:

Here is my the header for my spring configuration file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
