XML-20149: (Error) Element 'auth' used but not declared, Exist and XML libraries

> Hi Erik,
>
> I've been seeing this message for a while and after some digging, it
> turned out Exist creates an XML in that method, but doesn't set a DTD
> or a schema. With the default class loading order in OC4J (parent
> first, i.e. standard), the SAX parser selecting is a validating one
> hence the error). I can set it to "local classes first" but while that
> works for OC4J, it still doesn't work for ... SAP's application server
> (in which our application has to be deployed). SAP's server gets
> really messed up if anywhere in the classpath it finds XML parsers
> (yeah, I know what you think :).
>
> I found Alessandro's recent blog entry at
> http://avernet.blogspot.com/2007/11/upgrading-exist-in-orbeon-forms.html
> in which he writes "eXist also uses an XML collection class from
> xercesImpl-2.9.1.jar. eXist looks for this class using the explicit
> package org.apache.xerces. Since Orbeon Forms uses a rerooted version
> of Xerces, eXist can't find this class. We might need to modify the
> eXist code for this. This is still open."
>
> Do you have an update on this (i.e. dependencies between Orbeon, Exist
> and XML libraries)?
