Matthew T. Adams commented on JDO-468:
--------------------------------------

JAXP, the standard API for XML parsing, is available for JDK 1.3, via a sepa
rate download.  I'm not sure which version of the JAXP standard works on JDK
 1.3, but we're not using anything extremely advanced in the JAXP API.  It c
omes standard with JDK 1.4
onward.  Proposed solution is to just use JAXP, and note that users must ins
tall & configure JAXP themselves for pre-JDK 1.4 usages of jdoconfig.xml.  T
here is no impact on the traditional usage of .properties files on any platf
orm.

> With the additions proposed in JDO-467, we need to identify the XML parser to use.
  The current minimum JDK supported by JDO is 1.3, which doesn't come standard with 
an XML parser.  We can either update the minimum required JDK to 1.4, which does com
e w
ith an XML parser out of the box, or identify a solution that works in a 1.3
 and later environment.
