[bv-dev] Changes in BV XML schemas

[Gunnar Morling]

Hi all,

I'm currently implementing this change (new mandatory “version“ attribute
in BV 1.1 XML descriptors) within the RI (see HV-595). The basic idea is to

* examine the root element for the version attribute using a parser (Stax
in our case) and then
* unmarshal the descriptor with JAXB, using the right XSD based on the
retrieved version.

So I have to access the input streams representing the descriptors twice.
This is no problem for the streams we're opening ourselves
(validation.xml), but it could be an issue for streams passed via
Configuration#addMapping().

I can see the following options now:

* read descriptor streams into a string first which then can be processed
several times. Alternatively wrap any streams not supporting the mark/reset
contract into a BufferedInputStream.
* demand in the spec that any passed input stream must support mark/reset.
This would also be beneficial for the scenario of creating several
factories from one Configuration, which we discussed a while ago. But
obviously this would be a non compatible change for 1.0 clients passing non
resettable streams to addMapping().

Any thoughts?
