Hello,

Congrats on the BaseX 11.9 release!

Installed it, and started to run my XQuery tests. Right away I got the following error: "Property 'http://www.oracle.com/xml/jaxp/properties/entityExpansionLimit' is not recognized."

This property is important to prevent the "1 billion laughs attack", and I have been pulling my hair out over it today. I am trying to set this property, not in BaseX but in a different XML processing framework.

How, and if the entityExpansionLimit is set is highly dependent on the Java version, and the XML parser it uses. Could you let us know which Java version you are using?

Best, Nico
