Xerces.jar

Question

Hi all,
I would be grateful is someone could help me with this.
I wanted to know if there is a equivalent of the method setReaderFactory() (which is present in class org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser ) in xercesImpl.jar or its other associated jar files.
The problem is that initially I only had to use xerces.jar and my code compiled fine. Now due to some additions I also need to set xercesImpl.jar in my classpath. Due to this I get a compilation error.
XMLtoDatabase.java:126: cannot resolve symbol
symbol : method setReaderFactory (SAXImport.StreamingCharFactory)
location: interface org.xml.sax.XMLReader
parser.setReaderFactory(new StreamingCharFactory());
this is a part of my code i.e XMLtoDatabase.java
SAXParser parser =(SAXParser)Class.forName("org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser").newInstance(); parser.setDocumentHandler(this);
parser.setErrorHandler(this);
parser.setReaderFactory(new StreamingCharFactory());

In my classpath settings xercesImpl.jar is before xerces.jar and I need to keep that order itself. As far as xercesImpl.jar having all the xerces.jar's contents in it.. well I dont think it does.. actually I think I will need to make changes to my code itself mainly the functionality of
setReaderFactory(new StreamingCharFactory)
will need to be replaced by some other suitable methods but right now I am in a real fix as to what needs to be done. Any help with this will be highly appreciated.
