/**
* Obtain a new instance of a
* DocumentBuilderFactory. This static method creates
* a new factory instance.
* This method uses the following ordered lookup procedure to determine
* the DocumentBuilderFactory implementation class to
* load:
*
* -
* Use the
javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory system
* property.
*
* -
* Use the properties file "lib/jaxp.properties" in the JRE directory.
* This configuration file is in standard
java.util.Properties
* format and contains the fully qualified name of the
* implementation class with the key being the system property defined
* above.
*
* The jaxp.properties file is read only once by the JAXP implementation
* and it's values are then cached for future use. If the file does not exist
* when the first attempt is made to read from it, no further attempts are
* made to check for its existence. It is not possible to change the value
* of any property in jaxp.properties after it has been read for the first time.
*
* -
* Use the Services API (as detailed in the JAR specification), if
* available, to determine the classname. The Services API will look
* for a classname in the file
*
META-INF/services/javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory
* in jars available to the runtime.
*
* -
* Platform default
DocumentBuilderFactory instance.
*
*
*
* Once an application has obtained a reference to a
* DocumentBuilderFactory it can use the factory to
* configure and obtain parser instances.
*
*
* Tip for Trouble-shooting
* Setting the jaxp.debug system property will cause
* this method to print a lot of debug messages
* to System.err about what it is doing and where it is looking at.
*
* If you have problems loading {@link DocumentBuilder}s, try:
*
* java -Djaxp.debug=1 YourProgram ....
*
*
* @return New instance of a DocumentBuilderFactory
*
* @exception FactoryConfigurationError if the implementation is not
* available or cannot be instantiated.
