I know they've included DOM & SAX APIs, and I thought that the
implementation in Sun JDKs also Xerces. I was mistaken. Anyway I don't
see an obvious reason why Stellation would depend on any proprietary
interfacs of Xerces. I suspect that the only thing needed to switch to
platform's DOM/SAX would be doing instantiation of parsers through JAXP.
So, to get the client working for the interim, there are really only
two choices: switch to the generic Java DOM support, or switch to JDOM.

Unfortunately I wasn't able to get to it until now.
There were two distinct issues:
- xml serialization in DialogPropertyBag class, I was able to get around
it with some basic java.xml.parsers/java.xml.transform stuff.
- Base64 encoding decoding using a class from Xerces implementation.
After tweaking this to one side and another I ended up with copying the
file from platform sources to org.stellation.util. I don't know if it's
apropriate WRT licensing policies. If not - another suitable
implementation must be found.
