# Update an existing XML registry

Update an existing XML registry if you want to change the default XML parser and transformer for the WebLogic Server to which the registry is associated and you want to change the parser associated with a particular document type or how external entities are resolved.

To update an existing XML registry:

1. If you have not already done so, in the Change Center of the Administration Console, click Lock & Edit (see Use the Change Center).
2. In the left pane, expand Services and select XML Registries.
3. In the XML Registries table, click the name of the XML registry you want to update.
4. If desired, update the fully qualified names of the classes that implement the `DocumentBuilderFactory` (for DOM parsing), the `SAXParserFactory` (for SAX parsing) and the `TransformerFactory` for transforming XML documents.
5. Click Save.
6. If you want to update the external entity resolution entries, follow these steps:
   1. Select the Contents > Entity Spec Entries tab.
   2. Click the name of the external entity entry name in the table.
   3. Update the fields as desired.
   4. Click Save.
7. To update the parser select entries:
   1. Select the Contents > Parser Select Entries tab.
   2. Click the name of the parser select entry name in the table.
   3. Update the fields as desired.
   4. Click Save.
8. To activate these changes, in the Change Center of the Administration Console, click Activate Changes.
   Not all changes take effect immediately—some require a restart (see Use the Change Center).

After you finish

You can also retarget the XML Registry to a different WebLogic Server. See Re-target an XML registry to a different server.
