[seek-dev] bug for uploading actor to repository

[Jing Tao]

Hi, devs:

I am looking for bug 2471. It says clicking "Upload to Repository" menu 
item in Kepler actor will cause "No attribute are implemented" exception. 
I went down the code and figure out the problem comes from utilities.jar 
file in ecogrid server side. In XMLUtilities class, there is a line:
factory.setAttribute(
             "http://apache.org/xml/features/nonvalidating/load-external-dtd",
             new Boolean(false));
If I commented out this line, everything will work. Obviously, the xerces 
in our system doesn't support this property now.

But it worked before, so somebody did some change in xerces jar file 
in metacat or some other place.

The easiest way to fix the bug is comment out this property. Does anyone 
really need this feature for xml parser?

Thanks,

Jing
