Description

There is a requirement to allow the new xalan.jar to be used with an old xml-apis.jar
which does not contain some of the newer interfaces in JAXP 1.3. We need to
protect a few class and method accesses with exception catching blocks and let the
Xalan processor behave gracefully when an exception is raised.

Classes and methods to protect:
1. javax.xml.XMLConstants
2. javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory.setFeature()
3. javax.xml.transform.dom.DOMResult.getNextSibling()
