Description

The smx4 specs component hits a compilation error using the jdk 1.6 when compiling the jaxp-api-1.3 module.

The error looks like this:

jaxp-api-1.3/src/main/java/org/xml/sax/helpers/XMLReaderFactory.java:[114,44] cannot find symbol
symbol : method getInstance()
location: class org.xml.sax.helpers.SecuritySupport

Possible work around is to use the XMLReaderFactory.java and SecuritySupport.java used in the jaxp-api-1.4 module in place of the XMLReaderFactory.java in the jaxp-api-1.3 module (fairly minor change). This change compiles okay for each of ibm jdk 1.5, 1.6 and the sun jdk 1.5.
