Under some JDK's (notably both Sun and IBM 1.4.0), getClassLoader(), when invoked on the JAXP or SAX classes, it returns null. This means that the fallback mechanism in these APIs may not work correctly: in particular, when an attempt to invoke an unknown Parser/XMLReader implementation is made in SAX, a NullPointerException rather than the correct ClassNotFoundException results. This patch fixes this problem, by using Class.forName() in the event that the bootstrap classloader is not returned in this particular situation. git-svn-id: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/xml/commons/trunk@226239 13f79535-47bb-0310-9956-ffa450edef68
