* Obtain a new instance of a <code>SAXParserFactory</code>. This

* This method uses the following ordered lookup procedure to determine
* the <code>SAXParserFactory</code> implementation class to
* load:
* <ul>
* <li>
* Use the <code>javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory</code> system
* property.
* </li>
* <li>
* Use the properties file "lib/jaxp.properties" in the JRE directory.
* This configuration file is in standard <code>java.util.Properties
* </code> 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.
* </li>
* <li>
* 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
* <code>META-INF/services/javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory</code>
* in jars available to the runtime.
* </li>
* <li>
* Platform default <code>SAXParserFactory</code> instance.
* </li>
* </ul>
*
* Once an application has obtained a reference to a
* <code>SAXParserFactory</code> it can use the factory to
* configure and obtain parser instances.
*

*
* <h2>Tip for Trouble-shooting</h2>
* <p>Setting the <code>jaxp.debug</code> system property will cause
* this method to print a lot of debug messages
* to <tt>System.err</tt> about what it is doing and where it is looking at.</p>
