Specify a parser factory

By default, the xml4j xerces parser (and as a result, ifxtools.jar) uses the non-validating XML parser. To use an alternative SAX parser factory, run your application from the command line as follows:

% java -Djavax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory=new-factory

If you are not running from the command line, the factory name must be enclosed in double quotation marks:

% java -Djavax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory="new-factory"

You can also set a system property in your code:

System.setProperty("javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory", 
   "new-factory")

In this code, new-factory is the alternative parser factory. For example, if you are using the xerces parser, then new-factory is replaced by org.apache.xerces.jaxp.SAXParserFactoryImpl.

It is also possible to use an alternative document factory for DOM methods. Run your application from the command line as follows:

% java -Djavax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory=new-factory

If you are not running from the command line, the factory name must be enclosed in double quotation marks:

% java -Djavax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory="new-factory"

You can also set a system property in your code:

System.setProperty("javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory",
   "new-factory")

For example, if you are using the xerces parser, then new-factory is replaced by jorg.apache.xerces.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl.
