   org.xml.sax.helpers.ParserFactory.makeParser(String className) throws ClassNotFoundException although there is
the class with className in the classpath. The sample program awaits for ClassCastException (See test.java below).
   
   This bug appears in build jdk1.4.0beta-b54 and affects the test in TCK JAXP 1.1

Another sample with valid SAX 1 PArser shows that the bug may prevent
user of SAX1-based JAva app from moving to J2SE 1.4 platform . At least
such a user will spend hours in trying to configure parser for the app.

package tests;
import org.xml.sax.helpers.ParserFactory;

public class makeParser {
    static String pName = "com.sun.xml.parser.Parser";
