/**
 * Defines constants for XML Processing APIs.
 *
 * <h2 id="EAP">External Access Properties</h2>
 * The value of the external access properties, including {@link #ACCESS_EXTERNAL_DTD},
 * {@link #ACCESS_EXTERNAL_SCHEMA}, and {@link #ACCESS_EXTERNAL_STYLESHEET},
 * is defined as follows.
 *
 * <h3 id="EAPValue">Value:</h3>
 * A list of protocols separated by comma. A protocol is the scheme portion of a
 * {@link java.net.URI}, or in the case of the JAR protocol, "jar" plus the scheme
 * portion separated by colon. A scheme is defined as:
 *
 * <blockquote>
 * scheme = alpha *( alpha | digit | "+" | "-" | "." )<br>
 * where alpha = a-z and A-Z.<br><br>
 *
 * And the JAR protocol:<br>
 *
 * jar[:scheme]<br><br>
 *
 * Protocols including the keyword "jar" are case-insensitive. Any whitespaces as defined by
 * {@link java.lang.Character#isSpaceChar } in the value will be ignored.
 * Examples of protocols are file, http, jar:file.
 *
 * </blockquote>
 *
 * <h3>Default value:</h3>
 * The default value is implementation specific and therefore not specified.
 * The following options are provided for consideration:
 * <blockquote>
 * <UL>
 *     <LI>an empty string to deny all access to external references;</LI>
 *     <LI>a specific protocol, such as file, to give permission to only the protocol;</LI>
 *     <LI>the keyword "all" to grant  permission to all protocols.</LI>
 * </UL><br>
 *      When FEATURE_SECURE_PROCESSING is enabled,  it is recommended that implementations
 *      restrict external connections by default, though this may cause problems for applications
 *      that process XML/XSD/XSL with external references.
 * </blockquote>
 *
 * <h3>Granting all access:</h3>
 * The keyword "all" grants permission to all protocols.
 *
 * <h2 id="PropPrec">Property Precedence</h2>
 * Properties, including the <a href="#EAP">External Access Properties</a> and
 * {@link #USE_CATALOG}, can be specified through multiple configuration sources.
 * They follow the configuration process as defined in the
 * <a href="{@docRoot}/java.xml/module-summary.html#Conf">Configuration</a> section
 * of the module summary.
