2 Upgrading WebLogic Server 4.5 and 5.1 to Version 7.0
2-36 BEA WebLogic Server 7.0 Upgrade Guide
XML 7.0 Parser and Transformer
The built-in parser and transformer in WebLogic Server 7.0 have been updated to
Xerces 1.4.4 and Xalan 2.2, respectively. If you used the APIs that correspond to older
parsers and transformers that were shipped in previous versions of WebLogic Server,
and if you used classes, interfaces, or methods that have been deprecated, you might
receive deprecation messages in your applications .
WebLogic Server 7.0 also includes the WebLogic FastParser, a high-performance
XML parser specifically designed for processing small to medium size documents,
such as SOAP and WSDL files associated with WebLogic Web services. Configure
WebLogic Server to use FastParser if your application handles mostly small to
medium size (up to 10,000 elements) XML documents.
The WebLogic Server 7.0 distribution no longer includes the unmodified Xerces
parser and Xalan transformer in the
WL_HOME\server\ext\xmlx.zip file.
