I have added logback-spring.xml into the class path and it was working fine until I added below dependencies for some ISO message conversion.(crimson dependency is hardcoded in the JPOS library, so it cannot be removed)

<project>
<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>

    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.modelmapper</groupId>

    <dependency>

</dependencies>

Then there is an issue with logback-spring.xml reading with below exceptions.

java.lang.IllegalStateException: Could not initialize Logback logging from classpath:logback-spring.xml'

and

Caused by: org.xml.sax.SAXNotSupportedException: Feature: http://xml.org/sax/features/external-general-entities

Below is where the JPOS packager(GenericValidatingPackager.class) used crimson library.

public void readFile(String filename) throws ISOException {
    XMLReader reader=XMLReaderFactory.createXMLReader(System.getProperty("sax.parser", "org.apache.crimson.parser.XMLReaderImpl"));
...
}

CodePudding user response：

crimson dependency is hardcoded in the JPOS library, so it cannot be removed

This is not correct, referring to JPOS packager(GenericValidatingPackager.class)

XMLReader reader = XMLReaderFactory.createXMLReader(System.getProperty("sax.parser", "org.apache.crimson.parser.XMLReaderImpl"));

This line just tell us that if we do not set the property "sax.parser", we use org.apache.crimson.parser.XMLReaderImpl as fallback.

So what we need:

1. Remove crimson dependency
2. set the property "sax.parser", e.g.

System.setProperty("sax.parser", "com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.parsers.SAXParser");

CodePudding user response：

Crimson is not required by jPOS if you use a modern JVM (1.8 and up).

It was used in the past, as a fallback if the JVM didn't provide an XMLReader, and org.xml.sax.driver was not configured.

Also, I suggest to use the latest version (see ChangeLog) as there has been a lot of improvements since 2.1.0 back in 2017.
