		<p>To set a property on either org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser 
		or org.apache.xerces.parsers.DOMParser, you should use the SAX2 
		method <code>setProperty(String,Object)</code>. To query a
		property, use the SAX2 method <code>getProperty(String)</code>.</p>
		<p>For example, to set the document factory by name:</p>
<source>DOMParser p=new DOMParser();
try {        
  p.setProperty("http://apache.org/xml/properties/dom/document-class-name",
                "org.apache.xerces.dom.DocumentImpl");
} catch (SAXException e) {
  System.out.println("error in setting up parser property");             
}</source>
