      SAXParserFactory factory = SAXParserFactory.newInstance();

      try {

         // check if our factory parsers are XInclude aware
         System.out.println("" + factory.isXIncludeAware());

         // change this setting
         factory.setXIncludeAware(true);

         // create a parser
         SAXParser parser = factory.newSAXParser();

         // check the configuration of XInclude awareness
         System.out.println("" + parser.isXIncludeAware());

      } catch (Exception ex) {
