   68        * <ul>

   76        * </code> format and contains the fully qualified name of the

   78        * above.
   79        *
   80        * The jaxp.properties file is read only once by the JAXP implementation
   81        * and it's values are then cached for future use.  If the file does not exist
   82        * when the first attempt is made to read from it, no further attempts are
   83        * made to check for its existence.  It is not possible to change the value
   84        * of any property in jaxp.properties after it has been read for the first time.
   85        * </li>
   86        * <li>
   87        * Use the Services API (as detailed in the JAR specification), if
   88        * available, to determine the classname. The Services API will look
   89        * for a classname in the file
   90        * <code>META-INF/services/javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory</code>
