[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (JBEE-97) See if the jstl dependency on xalan can be refactored out

[Jason Greene (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBEE-97?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12755836#comment-12755836 ] 

Jason Greene commented on JBEE-97:
----------------------------------

The jstl library had depdencies on internal SUN jdk classes. This just changes it to depend on real xalan instead of JDK classes. However there is also a bug in xalan that breaks running in any environment that has modular classloading involved (OSGi, EE, etc). We forked to fix it:

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XALANJ-2535

Unfortunately they still have yet to merge it.

That said IIRC xalan 2.7.1 defaults to the interpreted transformation factory. That one doesnt' have this bug. So it could be possible to switch the dep to standard xalan, and override it in jboss distributions.

> The JSTL api has a dependency on the xalan fork which is only available in the JBoss repository.  If this can be refactored out, then the complete set of dependencies will be available in central.
