7u40: Request for approval for CR 8013434 - Xalan and Xerces internal ObjectFactory need rework

[Seán Coffey]

Daniel,

I just see that now. My understanding is that the "release" field in CCC 
should specify the earliest fix release which the change is planned for. 
I'm cc'ing Joe Darcy for advice. Joe - is this change ok for JDK 7u 
integration ?

regards,
Sean.
