Can't create Transformer, Templates objects if system properties are readonly

Name: eaR10174 Date: 08/25/2003


  Instances of Transformer, Templates are not created if the installed security manager does not
allow to modify the system properties (See test.java below). TransformerConfigurationException contains
the following message:

     javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: org.xml.sax.SAXException: Can't create default XMLReader;
     is system property org.xml.sax.driver set?


 If the security manager allows to modify the system properties and the property 'org.xml.sax.driver' is
not set then the property is set after the instances of Transformer, Templates are created.

  The bug appears in jdk1.5.0beta-b16 and affects old JCK1.4a tests that fail during testing in singleJVM
mode (JavaTest harness sets own security manager that prohibits properties modification in this mode):
