Scott,

Is there a possibility to refactor the openSAML code using JAXP1.2 which
again would not depend on DOM3?

Thanks,
Sunit.

ID attribute stuff. Build without it, not hard to find all the
dependencies.
Doesn't really matter because you also need JAXP 1.3, and that's going
to
break you at least as badly, and there's no way you're avoiding that
part.

What could possibly break? I would suspect it's JAXP 1.3 that's breaking
it,
not the DOM version. DOM3 is a superset of DOM2.
