Installation instructions

1. Retrieve the latest distribution from the Web site at http://www.w3.org/RDF/Implementations/SiRPAC/
2. The distribution's JAR file includes a SAX parser that you may want to replace. See http://www.megginson.com/SAX/ for more information.
3. The distribution's JAR file contains an XML parser from Microstar that you may want to replace.
4. Run the JRE with a command such as:

   java -classpath SiRPAC.jar org.w3c.rdf.implementation.syntax.sirpac.SiRPAC sourcefile/URI

   
   

   java -classpath SiRPAC.jar -Dorg.xml.sax.parser=<classname> org.w3c.rdf.implementation.syntax.sirpac.SiRPAC sourcefile/URI

   
   Where <classname> is the class of an XML parser that implements the SAX interface classes. For example, this class for IBM's XML parser is com.ibm.xml.parser.SAXDriver

Trouble-shooting

• If java class loader has trouble loading the files, you might wish to recompile SiRPAC.
• If the XML parser manages the XML namespaces (which SiRPAC does itself), try switching to a non-namespace aware XML parser. For example, the V2 of IBM's XML parser does no longer work with SiRPAC. I suggest you downgrade to V1.1.16 - at least that works ok.
