Hi,

The root cause of this issue is that SPECJVM2008 uses a 3rd party parser 
XOM 1.1 to convert the output to its canonical form. The XOM parser 
directly references to the JDK parser implementation "SAXParser" with a 
different configuration than the default JDK parser, in this case, the 
DTD-only parser configuration "DTDConfiguration".  In JAXP 1.5, we added 
XMLSecurityPropertyManager that is instantiated in the default 
configuration "XML11Configuration".  Since XMLSecurityPropertyManager is 
not supported by DTDConfiguration, XOM no longer works.

This patch is to add the XMLSecurityPropertyManager to DTDConfiguration 
so that XOM will continue to work properly with jdk8/7u40. I don't know 
if there's any library out there that calls into 
NonValidatingConfiguration directly.  Since it's in a similar situation 
as DTDConfiguration, I added  XMLSecurityPropertyManager support as well.

test:
        I created a new test that runs with xom1.1.jar on the classpath, 
and passed.
        all unit tests/SQE regression tests passed

Thanks,
Joe
