Do people actually want to do that?  Anyway, you can change the parser=20=

if you want.  The user just needs to pass the -Djava.endorsed.dirs=20
command line arg to the server.  My new code simply appends our dir to=20=

the system property, so users can always put their stuff first.  Of=20
course they will have to add their parser to classpath, which is more=20
if an issue as our class path comes from the manifest, which can't be=20
overridden.  Also, if you change the xml parser, you will no longer be=20=

running a certified server (once we are certified) as the parser is=20
part of the J2EE tested binary.
